Pulling The String en Mudvayne

Running I'm always running from myself,
No one to help me, no one knows,
Not that anyone who knew would care
Dangling, hanging from your tree,
Am I an ornament of longing,
A seed trapped inside the shell that is me

Nobody can save me, from this, from myself
Hurricane of head space, spinning circling
Stacking up the walls that hide you from myself

Crumbling pieces of me, an offering to you
Falling gifts from me to you, left nothing for myself
You had my cake and ate it too and left nothing for me

Fist, for breaking
These eyes, for seeing, right through
Heart, for you to trample
Confidence lost
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
From this loss
This right of passage, denied
Holding the headstone
Tied to no one, loosen the knot, pulling the string

Losing, feels like I'm losing all my worth,
No one to notice, no one would care,
If they took the time to stop and stare

Nobody has the time for me, for myself
Blistering pieces of me,
I'm giving them to you
These sweet whispers are from me to you,
Want nothing for myself
You hold my world inside your hands,
And leave nothing for me

Fist, for breaking
These eyes, for seeing right through
Heart, for you to trample
Confidence lost
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
From this loss
This right of passage, denied
Holding the headstone
Tied to no one, loosen the knot, pulling the string

So sorry, for whatever it was I've done,
So I'm deserting, sincerely, me

Got to just be,
You've got to just know,
I've got to leave,
It's time for me to go
So here's the note,
I've left the key,
I hope that when you find this,
I've left you with a happy ending...
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

Fist, for breaking
These eyes, for seeing right through
Heart, for you to trample
Confidence lost
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
From this loss
This right of passage, denied
Holding the headstone
Tied to no one, loosen the knot, pulling the string

I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
I'm tied to no one! (no one!)
Pulling the string
