Broken Strings Redemption

He stands beneath the flickering streetlamp light

Holding a heavy iron key in the cold of night

He never wanted the shadow across his name

But the hunger in the house left him to play this game

And the weight in his chest is pulling him down

(down) As the quiet rain starts to wash over this town

Oh, I'm losing the boy that I used to be Falling in

deep where nobody can rescue me

I never wanted to wear this heavy crown

(no, I never did) Another night,

another lock to break in twain

Walking the edge just to escape the blinding pain

He looks at his hands and he hates what they have done

Running away from the rising morning sun

Oh, I'm losing the boy that I used to be Falling in

deep where nobody can rescue me

I never wanted to wear this heavy crown

(please pull me down)
