Strings

A disappointment falls through my arms
I take a minute to lose my charm
And I wait, by the lines of no light
Sinking into no such paradise

And everybody’s seeing grey lights losing their shine
Pushing forward holding my time
And I stand, hold the fort, mount my throne
It’s like waking up, wearing the same clothes
Wearing the same clothes

So would you please, please move your things
“We’re gonna hold you down” they sing
Would you please, please move your things
Said the keepers
Said the keepers of my strings

I saw the bows bounce of my chest
Writing headlines of peaceful unrest
And will I ever see the masterpiece on show
It’s like waking up, wearing the same clothes
Wearing the same clothes

And would you please, please move your things
“We’re gonna hold you down” they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers
Said the keepers of my strings

For crying out loud
I breaking down by my dreams
And I’m finding out, how many times
Will it be that I fall down and out

Could you please, please move your things
“We’re gonna hold you down” they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers of my

Please, please move your things
“We’re gonna hold you down” they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers
Said the keepers of my strings

Ain’t no keepers pulling on my strings
