[00:00.000] On a string, on a string, on a string I was held
[00:08.741] The way that I move, can you tell?
[00:13.426] My actions are orchestrated from above me
[00:21.875] And so I swing and I sway
[00:26.336] Wave my hand, kick my leg
[00:30.851] And it's always right with the music
[00:37.321]
[00:39.829] Until all that swaying starts to make you sick
[00:43.793]
[00:44.318] For a song I was bought
[00:48.867] Now I lie when I talk
[00:53.449] With a careful eye on the cue cards
[01:01.935] Onto a stage, I was pushed
[01:06.836] With my sorrow well-rehearsed
[01:11.079] So give me all your pity and your money, now (All of it)
[01:19.622]
[01:21.009] We used to think that sound was something pure
[01:26.019]
[01:26.794] But if I could act like this was my real life
[01:35.702] And not some cage where I've been placed
[01:44.755] Well then, I could tell you the truth like I used to
[01:53.743] And not be afraid of sounding fake
[02:01.103] Now all anyone's listening for are the mistakes
[02:07.054]
[02:07.754] (Oh, I'm sorry)
[02:09.242] No, it's okay, it's okay
[02:10.868] One two three, one two three
[02:14.340]
[03:06.838] In a house, by myself
[03:11.310] I hear the ice start to melt
[03:15.558] And I'll watch rooftops weep for the sunlight
[03:24.959] And I know what must change
[03:29.677] **** my face, **** my name
[03:34.271] They are brief and false advertisements
[03:43.192] For a soul I don't have
[03:47.940] Something true I have lacked
[03:51.962] And spent my whole life trying to make up for
[04:01.604] But I found in a song
[04:06.097] And in the people I love
[04:10.889] They will lift me up out of darkness
[04:19.659] And now my door, it stands open
[04:24.553] I'm inviting everyone in
[04:29.311] We're gonna laugh, we're gonna drink until the morning comes
[04:35.966]
[04:36.188] That's what we are going to do
[04:37.862] Come on! Come on!
