๐ Lyrics
We hide behind the gates
It's daylight when they come
Afraid to test what we've done
Tamed by the fire, they hang on a wire
Tonight, they'll have you bandaged 'round the eyes
Tonight, they watch from the sides
They sing familiar cries
From the side, they watch with closed minds
And breathe on every line with impeccable time
They watch from the sides
They watch from the sides
They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
They speak with frail sighs
And their throats are dry, and ravished of greatness
They open their arms with jaws of life
They're bandaged, bandaged 'round the eyes
And all I can hear are the cries
It haunts me at times
While animatronic puppets sing stupid lullabies
Afraid to test what we've done when they come
Shunned by the light in awe
They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
And books deprived
And ravished of pages
They're all filled with lies
I feel neglected
Bandaged 'round the eyes
You do this to me, you do this to me
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
It's daylight when they come
Afraid to test what we've done
Tamed by the fire, they hang on a wire
Tonight, they'll have you bandaged 'round the eyes
Tonight, they watch from the sides
They sing familiar cries
From the side, they watch with closed minds
And breathe on every line with impeccable time
They watch from the sides
They watch from the sides
They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
They speak with frail sighs
And their throats are dry, and ravished of greatness
They open their arms with jaws of life
They're bandaged, bandaged 'round the eyes
And all I can hear are the cries
It haunts me at times
While animatronic puppets sing stupid lullabies
Afraid to test what we've done when they come
Shunned by the light in awe
They know we can see right through
Fingers broken and bruised
And books deprived
And ravished of pages
They're all filled with lies
I feel neglected
Bandaged 'round the eyes
You do this to me, you do this to me
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
You pulled a string, you pulled a string
It haunts me at times, it haunts me at times
