Dancing on your strings

In the silence of your whispers, shadows start to creep,
Where love should live and flourish, it's a minefield deep.
You pull me closer, yet you push me to the edge,
With every little glance, I'm walking on the ledge.
Turning tides and twisted knots, it's all a cruel game,
Your smile a sweet deception, masking all the shame.
Isolation wraps around me, like a storm without a break,
You monopolize my vision, it's my heart that's at stake.

Delusion leads me blindly, I'm dancing on your strings.
and no one believes me. I guess I'm over reacting

Oh, it's hard to find the daylight in this world of torment,
With every promise fading, I'm lost in your confinement.
You wear your love like armor but it's rusted from the lies,
With your grip around my conscience, it's hard to realize.

Every little token you give, a steep price to pay,
Occasional indulgences that bind me every day,

You demonstrate a power that my heart can't comprehend,
And all those trivial demands are where your rules extend.
With threats hanging like a shadow, I learn to live in fear,
Yet somehow I still find warmth in the chill of your veneer.

In this theater of coercion, love becomes the knife.
noone listens anymore because I never walked away
even as horrible as you were to me you convinced me you were right

Oh, it's hard to find the daylight in this world of torment,
With every promise fading, I'm lost in your confinement.
You wear your love like armor but it's rusted from the lies,
With your grip around my conscience, it's hard to realize.

Isolation swallows whispers, drowning dreams away,
I grasp for the reflection of my heart's disarray.
