Maybe we're all puppets that dance by a thread, Displaying emotions like delight and dread, Telling stories as Destiny demands, With the whims of fate being our commands. What if we found free will, and learned to feel, Discovering new paths, knowing what's real? There's a whole world out there to explore Life is comfortable, but could it be more? I don't remember how I ended up here The others are content, yet I wish in fear Everyone's ten moves ahead of me, I'm trying to catch up, it's a mystery Is it worth the risk to escape alone? This doesn't seem right, it's all I've ever known. So I hold on, helpless and afraid I dare not be more than what I've been made Dreaming of a future where we're not playthings, To be alive, unattached to these strings.
