People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in Time and again boys race to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man, mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow He couldn't operate, serve his tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheat the ties To break the tie that's true him We couldn't be saved as sadness runs through him Time and again boys race to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man, mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow He couldn't operate, serve his tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheat the ties To break the tie that's true him We couldn't be saved as sadness runs through him Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheat the ties To break the tie that's true him We couldn't be saved, no We couldn't be saved as sadness runs through him As sadness runs through As sadness runs through As sadness runs through As sadness runs through As sadness runs through
