Lyrics
Verse 1:
They all hang around you
Like you’ve got the answer
But I know that you don’t
Your lies spread right through them
And grow like a cancer
It’s fueling your ego
Verse 2:
You walk down the halls
Ruling it all
Your clique at your side
All vanity and pride
They all fell in line
Following every sign
Never seeing what’s inside
Chorus:
You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer
Post-Chorus:
They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played
Verse 3:
You put on a mask
With a smile on your face
Hidden in disguise
And they all believed
While you lied and deceived
Every single line
Verse 4:
You laugh and you flirt
Gossip and hurt
Insult and blame
All these petty games
And they laughed with you
Hiding all the pain
Hiding all the pain
Chorus:
You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer
Post-Chorus:
They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played
Bridge:
Someday you will see
That what you want in your life
Isn’t what you need
And everyone around you knows
That you will end up all alone
Chorus:
You’re playing puppeteer
You’re pulling the strings
The people in your life are just your playthings
You do it all out of fear
Cause you’re the master puppeteer
Post-Chorus:
They’re not really your friends
Just a means to an end
You think that you’re playing them
But you’re the one that’s being played

Just discovered your music! Oh my God, this is amazing! I don’t know why people haven’t made a comment about this song, keep doing them, you’re incredible! :D

I love you….
My favourite of this set of gorgeous photos is “Puppet Master No.3″ because the brightness and colour seems to be more enhanced than the others….and because you look stunning in it!!

This is proof of how hard it is to get into the music industry. Something so great is only heard by less than 1000 people… Try to get signed to a major label, you can do it I promise. Try your hardest! When you’re singing in your videos, show us the passion because honestly I’m not seeing it yet. You’re a great vocalist but people want someone who really feels their music, or at least show it.
@JuzKillnBeatz Thanks for your compliments :) All of the videos I have posted so far have been candid shots from the recording studio. As such, my focus is 100% on the vocals. Admittedly, this can involve some rather awkward facial expressions, since I am using my muscles for projection rather than expression. On stage, I certainly do compromise between the two, but in the studio, never. Granted, I do need to get some performance videos up!
may i suggest you take some notes on other bands such as the kabeedies, and the yeah yeah yeahs? i like your music a lot, but it lacks soul, and sort of feels like a normal teen drama type genre. its close to that of great
You have a really nice voice listen to all your songs.I loved them all too.Not to mention you are a cutie too.eg
wow you should go on dick clark new year rocking eve because your wonderful voice is awesome as ever
wow…you sing with such passion….like Celine…its beautiful stuff…
Your voice reminds me of Natalie Merchant. Very beautiful.
Another exelent Instrumental Ashe, If I could sit & chat with the artist within there would be many things I would be curious to know . Like are these recently posted Instrumentals freshly written ? Were they written to remain an Instrumental or are they the prelude for lyrics yet to be written ? Whats your personal reason or preference for creating an Instrumental as opposed to one with lyrics that gives us another opportunity to enjoy your beautiful voice ?
I love it! XD
@jimsmailbox I’m uploading the mastered versions of the songs from my debut album
@ashelynsummers Thanks Ashe, I feel like I have a greater understanding now & I know I should go through your playlist & listen to each
