Oh how you pluck my hart strings
You have memorized the cords
With each verse you play I lose me self a little more

This mystic tune I can not brake free
Each note brings me closer to my knees
Verse by verse addicted more and more
Will you not stop till I am a heap of nothing huddled on the floor

Your guilty tune manipulates my hart
I weep or laugh by your demand
My emotions no longer mine to command
How you timed this well I don’t remember the start

I am your puppet
You make me dance alone
But in the shadows I see you
There you are  playing on
This eerie melody
You used to trap me
My self is almost gone

Good work...it's too bad that it's so easy for people to manipulate others.
