Lyrics

Balancing on a string

Do you see the ones attached to you?

I pull you across the stage

You move because I tell you to

 

You’re under my control

Caught in my spiraling web

Just one of many pawns

I’ve gotten in your head

 

This is my world

You’re all just spinning in it

I let you live another day

You’re all just entertainment

And no, why would I change it?

It’s perfect how it is

You performing, me backstage

Always pulling strings

 

I am always here

As your little play goes on

You’ve escaped me once before

Mr. Spider’s not really gone

 

This is my world

You’re all just spinning in it

I let you live another day

You’re all just entertainment

And no, why would I change it?

It’s perfect how it is

You performing, me backstage

Always pulling strings

  

So I’ve been watching you

Waiting your whole life to do

It’s coming and you don’t know when

I won’t let you escape again

 

You do just as I plan

Always none the wiser

I never reveal my hand

Do you know where you got that lighter?

 

This is my world

You’re all just spinning in it

I let you live another day

You’re all just entertainment

And no, why would I change it?

It’s perfect how it is

You performing, me backstage

Always pulling strings

 

This is my world

You’re all just spinning in it

I let you live another day

You’re all just entertainment

And no, why would I change it?

It’s perfect how it is

You performing, me backstage

Always pulling strings

 

Give me your fear

Give it all to me

Give me your despair

I need to hear you weep

 

Give me your fear

Give it all to me

Give me your despair

I need to hear you weep

 

Give me your fear

Give it all to me

Give me your despair

I need to hear you weep
