Bright Eyes

On a string 
On a string 
On a string 
I was held 
The way I move, can you tell 
My actions are orchestrated from above 
And so I swing and I'll sway 
Wave my hand, kick my leg 
And it's always right with the music 
(Til all that swaying starts to make you sick) 
For a song, I was bought 
Now I lie, when I talk 
With a careful eye on the cue cards 
Onto a stage, I was pushed 
With my sorrow well rehearsed 
So give me all your pity and your money now 
All of it 
(We used to think that sound was something pure) 
But if I could act like this was my real life 
And not some cage where I've been placed 
Well then I could tell you 
The truth like I used to 
And not be afraid of sounding fake 
Now all everyones listening for are the mistakes 
(katie: I'm sorry!) 
No it's ok it's ok 
One, two, three 
One, two, three 

In a house by myself 
I hear the ice start to melt 
And I watched the rooftops weep for the sunlight 
And I know what must change 
Fuck my face, fuck my name 
They are brief and false advertisements 
For a soul, I don't have 
Something true I have lacked 
And spent my whole life trying to make up for 
But I found, in a song 
And in the people I love 
they will lift me up out of darkness 
And now my door 
It stands open, I'm inviting everyone in 
We're gonna laugh, we're gonna drink 
Until the morning comes 
That's what we're gonna do! 
Come on! 
Come on!
