Hanging by a Thread

I was scared; howling Nobody ever told me to heal In a moment is this how drowning feels? In the morning, aching, these years are taking their toll Must stop taking their vitriol Tell me everything I want to hear I'm listening, humour me I hope I'm coming through loud and clear Hanging by a thread like a puppet Got to get away, I gotta fade away Hanging by a thread like a puppet Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping Brush the dust off, back straight, don't stoop, don't show them fear It may hurt but don't shed a tear Now I'm standing, arms raised, these fuckers won't ever bring me down I'm a king wearing my broken crown Not knowing what we want to say But your thinking is lost to me No power over me, washes over me Hanging by a thread like a puppet Got to get away, I gotta cut it Hanging by a thread like a puppet Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping Hanging by a thread like a puppet Got to get away, I gotta fade away Hanging by a thread of my making Standing on a ledge, but I'm not jumping
