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's 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 talkWith 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 But 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 toAnd not be afraid of sounding fake Now all anyone's listening for are the mistakes Ahh, I'm sorry No, it's okay, it's okay One, two, three One, two, three In a house by myself I hear the ice start to melt And I'll watch the 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 somethin' true, I have lacked And spent my whole life tryin' to make up for But I found in a song and in the people I loveThey 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 do come on, come on
