> a puppet without strings

i feel every defeat
i feel every agony
i feel every anguish

im living my life thru the idiotbox
im living my dreams thru celluloidtrips

their every failure is my own
their every heartbreak is my own
their every sadness is my own
their every tears are my own

i am but a video recorder whose recycling my own VHS tape; day-in-day-out

i am but a product of media manipulation

i am but a victim of my own emotions

and tho the water is calm, it is filled with blood
and i drown in the blood of my own void
