[Verse 1]
Regress, go back to move forward
You're not alone, we're dragging you along
Buy new ones and tie them on
We wear strings, and we make them sing

[Pre-Chorus]
Now strap these on
We're only pushing ourselves this far
As far as we want
We cannot rest, we must progress

[Chorus]
And I beg, "Sing for me, sing for me"
And they only vibrate for me
How I long for more skillful hands
With fingers that naturally do the dance
But you cannot intimidate me
Though you tie me up with all these strings
But I cannot breathe through these strings
No, I cannot breathe

[Verse 2]
Progress, you have to move forward
We won't sit still
We expect the same of you
Buy new ones and tie them on
[Pre-Chorus]
Now strap these on
We're only pushing ourselves this far
As far as we want
We cannot rest, we must progress

[Chorus]
And I beg, "Sing for me, sing for me"
And they only vibrate for me
How I long for more skillful hands
With fingers that naturally do the dance
But you cannot intimidate me
Though you tie me up with all these strings
But I cannot breathe through these strings
No, I cannot breathe
