These tears run down my face   No signs of redemption   I swollow in my sadness   Drown in a pool of shame      Hang by a string   like puppets in a play   Run like slaves, nowhere to escape      No sun burns through these darkening days   Hard to imagine I could be this way      I bleed for you, bleed for you   I hate to see these darkening days      Sucking my motivation   Only time is on my side   Everything I have I've wasted   I'd gamble on my life      Hang by a string   like puppets in a play   Run like slaves, nowhere to escape      No sun burns through these darkening days   Hard to imagine I could be this way   I bleed for you, bleed for you   I hate to see these darkening days      It's like all these times, I need to unwind   Can't be the way you wanted me to be   Through this constant grind   I think I'm losing my, losing my grind      Hung by a string, run like slaves      No sun burns through these darkening days   Hard to imagine I could be this way   I bleed for you, bleed for you   I hate to see these darkening days
