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 [Chorus] 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) And you'll bring me back to life And you'll bring me back to life I see the world on a beach It's sinking in the sand Oh it tries to s** 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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) And you'll bring me back to life And you'll bring me back to life And you'll bring me back to life.
