Strings of Fate

[Verse] Wooden lies in the shadows and fog Crafted dreams by the old man's cogs Strings pull tight puppeteer laughs loud Fractured soul cries in the silent crowd [Verse 2] Cat's grin wide in the dark of night Dog's growl is a bite outta sight Midnight lurker dances with the moon Clock ticks fast like end's comin' soon [Chorus] Strings of fate drag me down below Puppet heart aches but I gotta go Ocean's mouth opens swallows me whole Inside the beast darkness takes control [Bridge] Muffled screams 'neath the waves so deep Lost in the belly where shadows creep Burnin' for freedom fightin' for life Pinocchio's struggle cuttin' with a knife [Verse 3] Pinned by fate can't find my way Eyes of the whale seein' ever so gray Puppeteer's grip chokin' tighter still But wooden boy fights with iron will [Chorus] Strings of fate drag me down below Puppet heart aches but I gotta go Ocean's mouth opens swallows me whole Inside the beast darkness takes control
