Matt Hansen
He Who Pulls the Strings Ties a Knot
[Verse 1: Andrew Wells]
I've learned that lashes steer the ship
That there's a purpose for the whip
I ingratiate my demons, they tell you that I don't lose my clip
I know a man who lives to toil
He only exists to work the soil
I emasculate his reason to keep them loyal
[Verse 2: Matthew Dommer, Andrew Wells]
You, are you broken, losing focus?
Friedrich Nietzsche on a bender
So unstable, waiting for something to save
I can't give back all of the light I stole (The light you stole)
Pretend I never cared at all
I was madе to loathe
[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
I'm telling you that all I know is hate
And it atе all my faith
How I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again, can I show you my pain?
Because we all, we all get lost
[Verse 2: Andrew Wells & Chantelle Wells]
Bring me the scalps of every king
So that the Matriarch will sing
Televise the final rapture
Until they decide to pull the strings
I know a God who'd like to meet you
Infinite hell that will defeat you
And if you make yourself my enemy
Well, I see your point of view
Tell me what you know
I need to heal you completely
Who are you now?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3: Matthew Dommer, Andrew Wells]
Stop, inward motion, seek a vision
Imitate Nebuchadnezzar
Bleed your passion or get the fuck out of the way
I played my part, all of the lines I wrote (The lines you wrote)
But I can't force you to believe
I was made to lead fractured men from depravity
[Chorus: Andrew Wells, Matthew Dommer]
I'm telling you that all I know is hate (I know is hate)
And it ate all my faith
I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again (See me again)
Can I show you my pain? (Show you my pain)
'Cause we all, we all get lost
[Outro: Andrew Wells & Matthew Dommer, Andrew Wells]
We all get lost
Who are you now?
