Thread 03:43
You walked in like a shining star With that trashy little boy hanging off your arm I don’t know what you’re trying to prove to me A hot mess and you dress to kill, You bat your eyes until you get your fill It’s made the other side of you so obvious to me It’s a little obscene, the way you pull the strings That keep me dancing like a marionette I bet you’ll let this go to your head It’s your fantasy, the way you pull the strings That keep me dancing like a marionette I bet you’ll let this go to your head Leave me hanging by a thread It’s everything that I’d expect With the sun in my eyes I couldn’t see the light Telling all the kids what you advertise That shade of red is kind of new to me I could lend a hand if it’ll fill the void In a closet full of your disposable toys Another substitute for a lack of self-esteem And I lie awake at night While you lie to save your life And I lie awake at night While you lie to save your life And this is how the story ends © 2015 Pull String Prophet

This empty chamber Holds no promise of salvation Half-cocked as you like it I know you like it This crying window Makes it hard to hold my head up Half-cocked as you like it I know you like it I see the lights from the highway Everything is calm tonight It could be you inside wondering I wish I was there I see the eyes from the highway Everyone’s alone tonight Are we alive and wondering? Do you wish I was there? Goodnight lifelines Have become my only savior I count the minutes if you’ll let me I know you will Every night We try to find our way back home It’s so misleading It’s just an empty room When you’re not there © 2015 Pull String Prophet

Sympathy 03:48
All I’m asking is your sympathy For listening To everything that’s wrong with you You know I love a tragedy But this is killing me You’re terrified of being boring, So what’s your story Over-dramatic and you’re reaching, Pulling my strings Look for a shoulder you can cry on, And you’ll find one Open arms are a commodity; You’ve tried collecting these You want a personal connection With someone that gets you Someone who understands you perfectly To be your therapy You’re terrified of being boring, But here’s the story You’re pushing everyone away from you With the things you do © 2015 Pull String Prophet

The Fool 04:32
You make it rain for days and days You try to flush me out But in stenciled names and open veins You give yourself away Nothing can stop you, And no one can tell you Where it all went wrong So you do what you want to Even if I tell you It’s time to leave You’re suffocating me All I ever wanted was to sit in silence With nothing to remind me of you When all you ever wanted Was to break this violent heart Make me the fool The rush inside that floods your mind Spilling from your mouth And the black and white that clouds your eyes Won’t take you home tonight What doesn’t kill you Has shown me the real you Scars will never fade So you laugh while you’re falling, The storm that’s coming Still out of reach And suffocating me You said it all so loud and clear When you choked that bottle down You had to prove them right So when they ask you how we lived Will you promise not to lie? Only a fool would say “goodbye” So when they ask you how we lived Will you promise not to lie Only a fool, you’re only a fool © 2015 Pull String Prophet

Sculptures 04:07
All we build will crumble at our feet Our greatest machines become obsolete Our flesh and bone will return to dust There’s no escape when our time is up We can’t hold on Sculptures in the sand are washing away Sculptures in the sand are washing away When every road leads to an end When every face is a forgotten friend When every statue has been overturned When every bridge we’ve built has burned We can’t hold on No one wants to be forgotten We all want to belong We need a face to leave our mark on Before we’re gone Sculptures in the sand are washing away The water’s coming in to erase your name © 2015 Pull String Prophet

Separate 03:39
It’s a long road we try to escape We find our ways For better days Hang my head in disgrace To hide my face It’s the price I pay Take my hand and pull me away I can’t help myself I feel alive when I touch the flames Without the strength to separate It’s a long road we walk for release Just look at me You’re my sanity Take my hand and pull me away I can’t help myself I burn inside when I touch the flames Without the strength to separate © 2015 Pull String Prophet

This voice is calling your name Hoping that your heart will still remain She doesn’t want to believe She doesn’t want it anymore This voice is calling your name Hoping that your heart will still remain I don’t want to believe She doesn’t love me anymore It’s not fair What you’re doing to me What you’re doing to me What you’re doing’s not Fair What you’re doing to me What you’re doing to me I just can’t explain I just can’t explain What you’re doing tonight This poison’s affecting your brain This poison’s running through our veins She doesn’t want to believe She doesn’t want it anymore This poison’s affecting my brain This poison’s running through our veins I don’t want to believe She doesn’t love me anymore I don’t know how you walk away I don’t know how you walk away I don’t know how you walk away I don’t know how to walk away © 2015 Pull String Prophet

Who We Are 03:45
What a way to start over again Bite your lip and peel the skin Your life’s about to begin Close your eyes and take it in We’ll find a way to make them understand It’s who we are on the outside That covers the sin You’ll never breathe like me again Reinvent with a brand new mask To make the whole world spin It’s a lie, but it’s all right It’s who we are on the outside We’ll be like them; we’ll fit right in It’s who we are on the outside See your face on the TV Embrace the fame when we’re all the same Centerfold and a tabloid queen You better hide your roots When they come for you You’ll never bleed like me again It’s who we are on the outside That keeps us trapped within Take your own advice What do you see Through these bright colored eyes? With this painted flesh And these punctured holes It’s a disguise that everyone knows And in this fight to be original, You’ll give it all Give it all you have What happened to the little girl I remember from childhood stories? What happened to you? © 2015 Pull String Prophet

In the Wake 04:12
I have to say This conversation took a turn for the worse From the first word out of your mouth And it’s clear as crystal I’m not getting out of it now I thought maybe you might have some answers, But we’re talking in circles Finally, I put it into perspective And I’m left back where we began Why don’t you say what you wanted to say? It’s obvious you think it’s over In the wake of all that hurt you, You came out shining like you’re made of gold Another day I could imagine the tables were turned You’d be making a monster of me But while your head’s spinning The ground will rise to my feet Everything that’s built can be broken So we learn to expect it When you’re shattered heart lies in pieces I’ll carry you out to the end Let me see that smile one last time When we burn this house to the ground Toss the match and watch the flames Don’t look back when you walk away © 2015 Pull String Prophet

One Night 03:33
We’re lonely anymore, But knowing you I see inside myself So transparent, but you don’t care It’s easy this way Tonight never meant forever It’s only a face that matters The stories we’ll tell years from now Nameless and empty Easily replaceable Bring the energy you need to feel alive For one night There’s a vacancy when I look in your eyes For one night Adoring eyes are watching Every move meant only for you Reading my mind, and you’re aware I’m here for you The surface is deeper tonight, And the small talk breaks the silence The stories you tell, you know me so well Nameless and empty The long ride home has given me plenty of time to see inside To what you like, the sound and the style, a stage and a smile So easily replaceable © 2015 Pull String Prophet

From the window I can see the lights Changing with your heartbeat A kind distraction From the war inside my head Unaware of the wave of sound Washing over me All I remember are The last words that you said Was it all a bad dream Watching everything fall apart In front of our eyes? Isn’t it a sad thing, That feeling we can’t change the world Even if we try? From the window I can see the streets Looking back at me I feel at home in this comedy of fools All distracted, all too busy, All just living for today All too confident That someone will come through They say, Was it all a bad dream Watching everything fall apart In front of our eyes? Isn’t it a sad thing, That feeling we can’t change the world Even if we try? From the window I can see their eyes Calling out to me Wishing we had known this day would come © 2015 Pull String Prophet
