Draw the string to close my eyes

(Never wanna see again)

I'm finially close to curtain time

(Sometimes like a play)

I hear the sound of silent sea

(Crawling on the shore for me)

So sell your soul 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



Anothe pill unto consume

(To make me learn to feel again)

Is swallowed by another one

(To make me lose the same)

God if I could recognize

(The things that make me whole again)

And draw this air into my lungs

(Remember how to breathe)



For as the curtain rose I danced as I was able

Felt my deception 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 for these wounds

(Take away the sting)



And as the ban it played on far beyond the craddle

I should have known that song would have to end
