Draw the strings to close my eyes
(Never wanna see again)
It's finally close to curtain time
(Sometimes like a play)
I hear the sound of fuck
(You remain to show me)
Spread my wings and try to fly
(The tether still remains)

And all the finer things they laid upon my table
Smile as their hooks were slowly sinkin' in

Another pill to consume
(Make me learn to feel again)
If swallowed by another one
(You can lose the same)
God if I could recognize
(Things that make me whole again)
Draw this air into my lungs
(Remember how to breathe)

For as the curtain rose I danced as I was able
Well not to since you're slowly sinkin' in

So I turn to you my love
(For the solace that is there)
The offer that is here to stay
(Full of slight reprieve)
I hope that you might find me here
(I can learn to smile again)
And as a bomb bore these wounds
(Take away the sting)

And as the band it played on, shit
I should have known that song would have to end
