Marionette

(chorus)

it's not depression

I don't cry

it's not depression

I cry no matter how hard I try

it's not depression

I don't cut myself, no

it's not suppression

they let me be myself

it's not suppression

I'm naturally timid

it's not suppression

I have nothing to hide

even if I died

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

shh, they prefer me to be a marionette

see? aren't I so perfect?

shh, they trap me with a net

if they see me like this

there's no need for alarm

as long as I don't self harm

when people look at me

do they not see the sadness behind these eyes?

(chorus)

it's not depression

I don't cry

it's not depression

I cry no matter how hard I try

it's not depression

I don't cut myself, no

it's not suppression

they let me be myself

it's not suppression

I'm naturally timid

it's not suppression

I have nothing to hide

even if I died

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

shh, these days I'm just so nervous

but you'll swear everything is alright

shh, the older I get, the more I become envious

actually, my soul is dark as night

I'm not a doll

I'm a marionette

watch me fall

sit in the audience and watch me fret

(chorus)

it's not depression

I don't cry

it's not depression

I cry no matter how hard I try

it's not depression

I don't cut myself, no

it's not suppression

they let me be myself

it's not suppression

I'm naturally timid

it's not suppression

I have nothing to hide

even if I died

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I strive for perfection

but it doesn't reach me

with all this imperfection

I can never find satisfaction

(chorus)

it's not depression

I don't cry

it's not depression

I cry no matter how hard I try

it's not depression

I don't cut myself, no

it's not suppression

they let me be myself

it's not suppression

I'm naturally timid

it's not suppression

I have nothing to hide

even if I died

(end chorus)
