about

Did a collaboration with Greg a few months ago and was allowed to add input to it and eventually release it. Thanks to those who have supported me over the past few years. I've wanted to work with a metal sound for quite awhile now. Edited and re-designed the photos for the single's cover art using the program app/website, "Ribbet". Took the mask photo in high school. Enjoy the track everybody!

lyrics

(Opening Scream in the middle of the first chords.)

"Don't wanna be...., don’t wanna be... "Puppets!"
You see it on your phone, your TV screen, and plugging in online. Got to watch from behind.
Liars, thieves, cheats, and creeps controlling your mind, watch out for... the strings. (Scream.)
Laughing at pathetic douchebags, while companies take our hard earned money...suck you in a corporate hole.
They are fucking draining you...! (Scream.)
They are fucking draining you...!
Friends’ texting over a screen instead of sharing their feelings outward.
Are you going to stand by and let 'em keep pulling you around? Or are you going to stand up and rip those fucking strings off... (Scream.)
Pulling strings, pulling teeth, pulling reason, and pulling you out of the ABC.
It is our struggle that we feel a lack of control with the bullshit we are sold in our own souls.
Don't wanna be..., don’t wanna be.... "Puppets", "Puppets!"
We can't all be puppets. Huh?
A heart manipulated, a soul rebooted, a heart manipulated, a soul rebooted.
Pulling strings, pulling teeth, pulling reason, and pulling you out of the ABC. (Scream.)
Pulling strings, pulling teeth, pulling reason, and pulling you out of the ABC. (Scream.)
Don't wanna be..., don’t wanna be.... "Puppets", "Puppets!"
Pulling strings, pulling teeth, pulling reason, and pulling you out of the ABC. (Scream.)
It is our struggle that we feel a lack of control with the bullshit we are sold and our own souls.
A heart manipulated, a soul rebooted, a heart manipulated, a soul rebooted.
Life, Society...was linking the brain that's already tuned in. "We can't all be puppets." Huh?
Life, Society...was linking the brain that's already tuned in. "We can't all be puppets." Huh? (Repeat.)
"Puppets..!"

Fin.
