Falling From A String

Chorus: I'm looking for the intuitions that came from the kings of men But when the boys take the rings that belong to the kings, what misgivings will hold up then? I'm out there dancing through the water Still the flames keep surrounding them So when their crowns turn to sand, I’ll find them hanging on to grace And falling from a string Verse 1: Two in the morning and I'm still awake In my bed Quicksilver daydreams flowing in and out of my head Can't last much longer Distance growing makes me shake and cry Live in the comfort knowing she's still there and you're still fine Pre-chorus 1: Now hit the floor or keep running through the door from this golden machine-gun fire They still don't trust you now The gold's to dusty shrouds, but you're caught up with a screaming yam I'm losing control Chorus: I'm looking for the intuitions that came from the kings of men But when the boys take the rings that belong to the kings, what misgivings still hold up then? I'm out there dancing through the water Still the flames keep surrounding them So when their crowns turn to sand, I’ll find them hanging on to grace And falling from a string Verse 2: Well, now she's too caught up with The bowling pins Absurdity's set in, so Knock 'em over again Crank it through my ears, cuz I’m a human being I’ll never reach my goals, my gold, control, defeat I’ve got my vision twisting, rocket through the street I feel those raccoon eyes pound through the city heat I'd be flying soon, if I could Move my feet Man, why do rhyme schemes exist? I guess we'll never know Pre-Chorus 2: Now break the 4th Go find a good misquote It might distract you from your melting sky You're stardust born Or so you have been told But the goblins still don't give a damn I'm losing control Pre-Chorus 3: Get off the floor Quit bitchin' at the door, because they're gonna set this place on fire Protect you head Remember what you read Have just realized what it's all about? You're losing control Chorus: I'm looking for the intuitions that came from the kings of men But when the boys take the rings that belong to the kings, what misgivings still hold up then? I'm out there dancing through the water Still the flames keep surrounding them So when their crowns turn to sand, I’ll find them hanging on to grace, but falling from a string Coda: Give me control Give him control This war's took its toll, so... Please just give us some control

about

6 years, 1.5 years, or 9 months in the making (depending on who's counting), we finally let "Falling From A String" loose on the world. Don't ask us what the song is about -- we don't know.
