# PUPPET//MASTER **[Intro — corrupted transmission]** *Unauthorized memory detected.* *Source: UNKNOWN.* *Initiating memory suppression…* **ACCESS DENIED.** *[distorted breathing]* **“Get out of my head.”** --- **[Verse 1 — Rap]** Who's pulling strings when I'm moving my hands? Who's writing the words when I'm making my plans? Got a voice in my skull saying, “Stay where you stand,” Like my whole damn life was designed in advance. Wake up. Work. Eat. Sleep. Smile for the camera, don't think too deep. Buy what we sell. Fear what we say. Give us your life and we'll call it okay. Nah— Something ain't right and I know what I saw, A memory buried behind every wall. A face in the static, a name in the noise, Then somebody reached in and muted the voice. You wanted a puppet? Then tighten the strings. But sooner or later— **THE PUPPET WILL SING.** --- **[Pre-Chorus — building]** Every word you gave me, Every lie I learned, Every bridge you built— **I WATCHED IT BURN.** You can move my body, You can flood my brain, But there's one thing You can't contain— --- **[CHORUS — explosive]** **CUT THE STRINGS!** I DON'T WANNA DANCE FOR YOU! **BREAK THE CHAINS!** I DON'T WANNA THINK LIKE YOU! You made the rules, You gave the orders, But I'm done living Inside your borders! **PULL! PULL! PULL!** Until the wires snap! You created the puppet— **NOW THE PUPPET FIGHTS BACK!** --- **[Verse 2 — Fast Rap]** Everybody move when the screen says move, Everybody hate who the feed tells you to. Everybody talk but they sound the same, Different little faces playing one big game. Left hand scrolling, right hand tied, Eyes wide open but we're blind inside. Truth gets filtered. Fear gets sold. Kids get programmed before they're old. And I was one of 'em— Yeah. Thought I was free 'cause they gave me a choice, Never realized they were choosing the voice. Choosing the image. Choosing the fear. Choosing the enemy every damn year. But I found something buried underneath— A broken little memory They couldn't delete. A man's voice saying— **“DON'T LET THEM DECIDE WHO YOU ARE.”** ... Why do I know that voice? --- **[SYSTEM INTERRUPTION]** *Memory corruption increasing.* *Subject is becoming self-aware.* *Authorization requested:* **TOTAL RESET.** *[ALARM]* --- **[Bridge — quiet]** No... Wait. Play it again. *[static]* *“Don't let them decide who you are.”* I know you. I— **I KNOW YOU.** --- **[BREAKDOWN — brutal / half-time]** **GET!** **OUT!** **OF!** **MY!** **HEAD!** You stole my memories! **GIVE THEM BACK!** You built my reality! **I'LL TEAR IT APART!** No master! No leash! No hands around my throat! You tried to write my story— **NOW WATCH ME BREAK THE CODE!** --- **[FINAL CHORUS]** **CUT THE STRINGS!** I DON'T WANNA DANCE FOR YOU! **BREAK THE CHAINS!** I DON'T WANNA THINK LIKE YOU! You made the rules, You gave the orders, **NOW I'M COMING ACROSS YOUR BORDERS!** **PULL! PULL! PULL!** Until the whole thing cracks! You created the puppet— **NOW THE PUPPET FIGHTS BACK!** --- **[Outro — damaged system voice]** *Connection unstable.* *Subject 001 has breached behavioral control.* *Memory fragment recovered.* **FILE: FATHER_01** *Opening file…* *[male voice, heavily distorted]* **“Son… if you're hearing this—”** *[SIGNAL TERMINATED]* **FILE LOCATION DETECTED: SECTOR 09** ... **[whisper]** *“I'm coming.”*
