Invisible Strings

[Verse 1]
Woke up feelin’ like I’m late again
Same script, different day I’m in
Mirror talk but it don’t sink deep
Say I’m free but I don’t feel free

Scrollin’ lives I don’t recognize
All these rules I don’t memorize
Every move got a shadow pull
Like I’m walkin’ but I’m not in control

[Pre-Chorus]
Try to cut ‘em loose, but they tighten slow
Every “no” I say turns to “guess I’ll go”
Tell myself that I’m in my own lane
But I drift every time they call my name

[Chorus]
Pullin’ on my invisible strings
Dancin’ how they want me to be
Every step ain’t really my own
But I play it off like I’m in control

Pullin’ on my invisible strings
Say I’m good but it’s hard to breathe
If I let go, who would I be?
Without these invisible strings on me

[Verse 2]
Voices loud but they sound so sweet
Sayin’ “this is where you oughta be”
Paint a life that I almost buy
But it fades when I close my eyes

Try to fight but it feels rehearsed
Like I’m livin’ in someone’s verse
Every choice got a hidden hand
Turnin’ pages I don’t understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut one thread, now a thousand show
Every high got a weight below
Tell myself I can break away
But I’m back at the start by the end of the day

[Chorus]
Pullin’ on my invisible strings
Dancin’ how they want me to be
Every step ain’t really my own
But I play it off like I’m in control

Pullin’ on my invisible strings
Say I’m good but it’s hard to breathe
If I let go, who would I be?
Without these invisible strings on me

[Bridge]
If I fall out the line, would it all disappear?
Or would I finally hear what I needed to hear?
All the silence I dodge, all the space I avoid
Is it freedom or fear if I fill up the void?

[Final Chorus]
Pullin’ on my invisible strings…
(soft, almost whispered)
Dancin’ how they want me to be…

Pullin’ on my invisible strings
Tryna find someone underneath
If I let go, who would I be?
Without these invisible strings on me
