I'm only a man on strings
A puppeteer behind the walls that are in my mind
I've been put under a spell
I'm feeling half as well
as I want to

so breathe in me
breathe in me

And take me away past this illusion
and to my freedom
Stringless
And break this heart of wood
Cut the strings that bind me
Breathe life in me
Stringless

I'm broken, in need of repair
I'm hurt, beyond this I can't bear it any longer
Please take this weary man
and make me feel again
cause I need you now
and I need you now

and breathe in me
and breathe in me

And take me away past this illusion
and to my freedom
Stringless
And break this heart of wood
Cut the strings that bind me
Breathe life in me
Stringless

And I've been here before
And I'm never going back
And I've been here before
And I'm never going back
And I've been here before
never going back
I've been here before
And I'm never going back
back
I'm only a man on strings
(There')s no puppeteer behind me
