D Em Bm
Like a marionette hanging from its strings
D Em Bm
You live you love you dance but it's not real
D
So take a bow
Em Bm
Emaciated little thing
D Em Bm
Cos you finally have the audience you need
Instrumental: D, Em, Bm, G x2
D Em Bm
Thinking back to your mother's lullabies
D Em Bm
How you dreamed of drifting free across the sky
D
Now you drag
Em Bm
Your approximated cut-out wings
D Em Bm
Show the fractures in your perfect porcelain
D Em Bm
Don't waste your life away
(A)
A black heart's a noose
D Em Bm
So cut your strings and come down
(A) D
I feel a different way
Em Bm
You see bruise I see bloom
D Em Bm G
In everything you hear sound
Instrumental: D, Em, Bm, G x2
D Em Bm
Like a Roman candle flickering
D Em Bm
Oh how easily our dreams are extinguished
D
And I know
Em Bm
That you can't forget if you can't forgive
D Em Bm
All the pain I see you burden yourself with
D Em Bm
Don't waste your life away
(A)
A black heart's a noose
D Em Bm
So cut your strings and come down
(A) D
I feel a different way
Em Bm
You see bruise I see bloom
D Em Bm G
In everything you hear sound
Instrumental: D, Em, Bm, G x4
D Em Bm
We waste our lives away
With these laments to youth
D Em Bm
We're all lost anyway
So cut your strings and come down
D Em Bm
We waste our lives away
Looking for things to lose
D Em Bm
We're all lost anyway
In everything you hear sound
D Em Bm
We waste our lives away
Cos the black heart in you
D Em Bm
We're all lost anyway
Is the only thing that I've found
D Em Bm
We waste our lives away
That matters at all
D Em Bm
We're all lost anyway
Outro: D, Em, Bm, G then end on D
