Some late-night scribbling that started with the first four lines, and just kinda grew from there
----
Puppet, marionette
High on a wire
Actions controlled
By a cerebral spider
Leader, master
Incomparable liar
Dance to his tune
Pulled ever higher
Life-leached, blood-drained
Marked an outsider
Burned to the bone
Torched by the fire
Still dancing away
On the funeral pyre
Led on, on, on
By an obscured supplier
Whispering love and fame
Temptation and change
Stealing your soul
While entrapped in the mire
