I see the world on a string   It's hanging from a wire   It gets tangled up and spun around   Like the truth inside a liar      Sometimes you wanna get high   And sometimes you run and hide   'Cause it eats you up and spits you out   It swallows you alive      When I'm down on my knees and it hurts to believe I'm bleeding   You'll bring me back to life   When there's no songs to sing and no flowers to bring no feeling   You'll bring me back to life, you'll bring me back to life      I see the world on a beach   It's sinking in the sand   Oh, it tries to suck you down with it   You better get out while you can      Sometimes you wanna scream out   And sometimes you just can't   'Cause your lips feel like they're glued together   And no one gives a damn      When I'm down on my knees and it hurts to believe I'm bleeding   You'll bring me back to life   When there's no songs to sing and no flowers to bring no feeling   You'll bring me back to life, you'll bring me back to life      This is the world on a string   There's no songs left to sing   Just sing, sing      I see the good, I see the bad, the revolution   I see the happy, I see the sad, the absolution   I see hate and I see love when the world's on a string      I see the good, I see the bad, the revolution   I see the happy, I see the sad, the absolution   I see hate and I see love when the world's on a string      When I'm down on my knees and it hurts to believe I'm bleeding   You'll bring me back to life   When there's no songs to sing and no flowers to bring no feeling   You'll bring me back to life      When I'm down on my knees and it hurts to believe I'm bleeding   You'll bring me back to life   When there's no songs to sing and no flowers to bring no feeling   You'll bring me back to life, you'll bring me back to life   You'll bring me back to life
