He Who Pulls the Strings Ties a Knot

I've learned that lashes steer the ship That there's a purpose for the whip I ingratiate my demons, they tell you that I don't lose my clip I know a man who lives to toil He only exists to work the soil I emasculate his reason to keep them loyal You, are you broken, losing focus? Friedrich Nietzsche on a bender So unstable, waiting for something to save I can't give back all of the light I stole (the light you stole) Pretend I never cared at all I was made to loathe I'm telling you that all I know is hate And it ate all my faith How I wish I was stronger in the end When you see me again, can I show you my pain? (Show you my pain) Because we all, we all get lost Bring me the scalps of every king So that the Matriarch will sing Televise the final rapture Until they decide to pull the strings I know a God who'd like to meet you Infinite hell that will defeat you And if you make yourself my enemy Well, I see your point of view Tell me what you know I need to heal you completely Who are you now? Ooh Stop, inward motion, seek a vision Imitate Nebuchadnezzar Bleed your passion or get the fuck out of the way I played my part, all of the lines I wrote (the lines you wrote) But I can't force you to believe I was made to lead (fractured men from depravity) I'm telling you that all I know is hate (I know is hate) And it ate all my faith I wish I was stronger in the end When you see me again (see me again) Can I show you my pain? (Show you my pain) Because we all, we all get lost We all get lost Who are you now?
