Lyrics
On a string..
On a string..
On a string, I was held The way I move, can you tell? My actions are orchestrated from above So I swing and I sway Wave my hand, kick my leg And it is always right with the music
"Until all that swaying starts to make you sick..."
For a song I was bought Now I lie when I talk With a careful eye on the cue card Onto a stage I was pushed With my sorrow well rehearsed So give me all your pity and your money, now (all of it)
"We used to think that sound was something pure..."
If I could act like This was my real life And not some cage where I've been placed Well then, I could tell you The truth like I used to And not be afraid of sounding fake
Now all anyone's listening for are the mistakes!
(Ah, I'm sorry!)
(Oh, it's okay, it's okay)
1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3!
In a house by myself I hear the ice start to melt And I'll watch rooftops weep for the sunlight And I know what must change Fuck my face. fuck my name They are brief and false advertisements..
...For a soul I don't have Something true I have lacked And spent my whole life trying to make up for But I found in a song And in the people I love They will lift me up out of darkness
And now my door, it stands open I'm inviting everyone in We're gonna laugh We're gonna drink until the morning comes That's what we're gonna to do.. Come on!! come on!!
