Matt Walden - Puppet
My life is like the ocean
My voice is like the breeze
It’s really hard to live when
Your thoughts are like the trees
Towering above me
Like ”who you’re gonna be?”
Everybody’s searchin’
But I know that I’m me
Oh, I know that I’m me
I know that I’m me
A little recognition was all it took for people to give me credit
Just wait you’ll see me on the TV
I won’t be the only one who says
That I can write some catchy hooks
Peter Pan with the looks
Won’t catch mе cooking the books
’Cuz I’m an artist not a crook (crook, crook)
So get your hand away from my ass
I’m not a puppet in your gamеs
Just wanna write from the heart
And do what I can to make a name
But the worst facets in this industry is
That it always feels like bigotry
Though they tell you differently
Just take a look at history
It’s quite sad really
The kinda games you play
Sell your soul to make a name
But that’s not me
I’m staying true to only being something bigger
★ Chorus ★
I’m not a pawn in your game
Can’t get inside of my brain
Yeah, I know it feels
I know it feels the same
That’s what they do
★ Verse ★
’Cuz I’m not a fan of the BS media stunts
I don’t need your hype 75
Not 200 love
Shouldn’t need to lie to get to the top
Fake personas never stop
Make some music ’cuz you love it
Not for money
Work nonstop
★ Pre-Chorus ★
’Cuz you should love what you do
And if you don’t, then you’re
Then you’re
★ Chorus ★
Then you’re a pawn in their game
You let them get inside of your brain
Wo-oo-o-ah
I know it feels the same
’Cuz that’s what they do
Wo-oo-o-ah

Biography
At the age of 15, I started writing songs in my room stemming from heartbreak and hormones. Posting originals and quick covers on YouTube of artists such as The Maine , All Time Low, & Ed Sheeran.
Come 2014, I moved out of the house and resided in my hometown of Bradenton, FL. to utilize the recording opportunities via the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. All in the meanwhile, building a small following via Vine (R.I.P.).
In the next few years, things got real.
I quit my job in 2015 to fully dedicate my time to creating music. During this time, some unfortunate events occurred & left me in a ‘homeless’ situation. Living on friends couches and spending each day in the studio working with Raven Chapman to create the ‘Life – EP’ released in 2015.
After that release, I had a bit of a revelation. Music was how I escape from all the rough patches in my life; what if I could help give that same type of escape to other people?
I wrote ‘Breathe.’ in October of 2016 about my dealings with suicide, depression & overall negative thoughts I had. Hoping to spark hope in not only myself but others who may be dealing with things similar to what I went through.
The goal is one thing. Create an escape for others.
Whether the songs are fun, sad, or confused; making each show & track about being someone else’s escape is the ultimate plan.
