You were clever and calculating, planning so, so far ahead

You thought it'd be over, but we both know dead isn't dead

Still, you crafted your plot in painstaking, crystalline perfection

But all that glitters isn't gold, all I am is not a reflection

You had all your pieces where you needed them, in alignment that rivaled the constellations

All your blue-prints were finalized before the ink dried, and you were far from blind; there would be complications

You would make altercations

Your patience carried you to new destinations

And though you didn't know what would happen, your guess was more educated than any scholar

You devoted your whole life to spreading and infecting others with your squalor

But to deposit yourself into so many hearts, it left you missing a few parts

You knew that too, though, made a point of recording it on your charts

You did the math over and over and came to decision that you would still be capable in your original incarnation

But then you added me to the mix, and I was a difficult allocation

Everything you did was seemingly flawless, the plan went smoothly on course

But you forgot, she made you, your own tool was your undoing, and still it got worse

Way back at my beginning, you made a fatal mistake

That put your entire life's work at stake

You made me a puppet, a doll, a toy

You never concerned yourself with which one to destroy

But you made me a puppet, a pitiful marionette of all things

You miscalculated, however, I was made without strings
