Pulling The String - Mudvayne Written by:Matt McDonough/Greg Tribbett/Ryan Martinie/Chad Gray Running I'm alway running from myself No one to help me No one knows Not that anyone who knew would care Dangling
Hanging from your tree Am I an ornament of longing
A seed trapped inside the shell that is me Nobody can save me From this
From myself Hurricane of head space Spinning circle
Stacking up the walls that hide you
From myself Crumbling pieces of me An offering to you
Falling gifts from me to you Left nothing for myself You had my cake and ate it too And left nothing for me Fist For breaking These eyes For seeing Right through Heart
For you to trample Confidence lost Nothing to lose Nothing to gain From this loss This right of passage denied Holding the headstone
Tied to no one Loosen the knot Pulling the string Losing
Feels like I'm losing all my worth No one to notice No one would care
If they took the time to stop and stare Nobody has the time for me
For myself Blistering pieces of me I'm giving them to you These sweet whispers are from me to you Want nothing for myself You hold my world inside your hands And leave nothing for me Fist For breaking These eyes
For seeing Right through Heart
For you to trample Confidence lost Nothing to lose Nothing to gain From this loss This right of passage denied Holding the headstone
