strings attached

i'm attached to all your strings 

you pulled me along

made me one of your things

my hands are tied

my ferocity died

my screams faded into the back

i can't handle you when you're on the attack

you give me nothing

but expect everything

you take what i can't afford to give

you scheme when i can't bear to live

i'm caught up in your whim 

doing your best to keep me from him

you tried to make me one of your things

but i'm cutting all of our strings
