I was scared; howling
Nobody ever told me to heal
In a moment is this how drowning feels?
In the morning, aching, these years are taking their toll
Must stop taking their vitriol
Tell me everything I want to hear
I'm listening, humour me
I hope I'm coming through loud and clear
Hanging by a thread like a puppet
Got to get away, I gotta fade away
Hanging by a thread like a puppet
Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping
Brush the dust off, back straight, don't stoop, don't show them fear
It may hurt but don't shed a tear
Now I'm standing, arms raised, these f*ckers won't ever bring me down
I'm a king wearing my broken crown
Not knowing what we want to say
But your thinking is lost to me
No power over me, washes over me
Hanging by a thread like a puppet
Got to get away, I gotta cut it
Hanging by a thread like a puppet
Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping
Hanging by a thread like a puppet
Got to get away, I gotta fade away
Hanging by a thread of my making
Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping
