Without My Strings (Demo) Lyrics


I’m holding my knife to the edge of the rope
I’m pulling the blade and I’m lettin’ it go
The fibers afraid now, I’m cutting them slowly down
I’m watching the ground as I try not to fall
I’m gripping my hips as I stick to the wall
The wires are cut now, I’m chopping them off me now

I’m not your puppet (puppet), I’m not your marionette (‘nette)
Thought I was bluffin’, I told you wouldn’t let (let)
You hold me hostage (hostage), you wrap me up in your net (your net)
In your net

It’s a new life, I’m finally free without my strings
I’ve lost control of everything
I want to know freedom brings
Without my strings, it’s a new life (life, life)

A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings
A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings

I fall to the earth as I struggle to walk
It’s like I’m a baby just learnin’ to talk
And no one can save me, I’m on my own, lonely now (now)
I rise to my feet and I breathe in the air
I still can’t believe I can go anywhere
No longer your puppet, your servent, your pet, your marionette

I’m finally free without my strings
I’ve lost control of everything
I want to know freedom brings
Without my strings, it’s a new life (life, life)

A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings
A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings

All of us puppets should just stick together
Cut off our strings and we’ll be free forever
All of us puppets should just stick together
All of us puppets should just stick together
Cut off our strings and we’ll be free forever
All of us puppets should just stick together

It’s a new life, I’m finally free without my strings
I’ve lost control of everything
I want to know freedom brings
Without my strings, it’s a new life (life, life)
I’m finally free without these threads
My heart was cold, my hope was dead
I want to know what freedom brings
Without my strings, it’s a new life (life, life)

A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings
A new life, a new life
A new life without my strings
