cutting the strings Lyrics

You mucked this up

You set in motion the thought

I'm not good enough

You did it just cause you could and

I just couldn't get enough

I played the chump

And I couldn't ever cut it

I matched the blood on your hands

(but) the blood won't wash off

Forgive my intrusion

Forgot my inclusion

My name in your mouth

Confirms my suspicion

This war of attrition

is wearing me out

I HAVE PLAYED THE FOOL

Just to play the fiddle

I DON'T MAKE THE RULES

Stuck right in the middle

You pressed your luck

I sat back doing nothing

Despite a non-stop battle

You played the trump

I didn't

And I matched your bloody notions

But blood's not good enough

I didn't

I couldn't

I wasn't

Willing to exit my feelings

I was feeling

Raw emotions

I will need

All that's unspoken

I can ease my erosion

I can ease this along

With your DEMOTION

I was feeling

Raw emotions

I was knocked on my knees

And I couldn't get it

It was up to me, and I couldn't get it

I've gotta GO

Gotta GO

Gotta GO
