Strings

about

this song serves as the outro to the album. we find our protagonist is still confused about a lot of things...but more content with that.

lyrics

it's getting cold as we wait for the winter scold...
for a time to feel remorse about our summer sins and then...
we'll grow tired of it again.
spring will come and loosen up our...

strings - they pull from heavenly hands full.
we dance like marionettes across a stage.
life, this hornless bull, spins desperate circles 'round the world.
we all hang, slack, dependent on his rage.

it's a dirty job but someone's gotta sit atop my world and watch it crumble.
someone's gotta slap us on our wrists lest we may stumble.
someone's gotta rule our weary souls.
someone's gotta rule our weary souls.

am i alone in the way i view this guilded throne?
the only one he ever led me to just couldn't wait to go without a need to let me know.
now i need a drink to help me loosen up these...

strings - they choke like words i never spoke...
as i watched her wander off and out of sight.
i danced to these jilted notes, forced a smile each time i woke.
recurring dreams and memories of her each night.

it's a dirty job but someone's gotta sit atop my world and watch it crumble.
someone's gotta slap us on our wrists lest we may stumble.
someone's gotta rule our weary souls.
someone's gotta rule our weary souls.

i'll climb these strings to the sky.
i'll set you free and i'll slide...
back down my strings to your side.
head to the sea and hide.
head to the sea and hide.

these strings they pull from heavenly hands full,
and we dance like marionettes across a stage...
