Young Guns - Lullaby lyrics

[Verse 1] Like a marionette hanging from its strings You live, you love, you dance, but it's not real So take a bow, emaciated little thing Cause you finally have the audience you need Thinking back to your mother's lullabies How you dreamed of drifting free across the sky Now you drag your approximated cut-out wings And show the fractures in your perfect porcelain [Chorus] Don't waste your life away Oh, a black heart's a noose So cut your strings and come down I feel a different way You see bruise, I see bloom In everything you hear sound [Verse 2] Like a Roman candle flickering Oh how easily our dreams are extinguished And I know that you can't forget if you can't forgive All the pain I see you burden yourself with [Chorus] Don't waste your life away Oh, black heart's a noose So cut your strings and come down I feel a different way You see bruise I see bloom In everything you hear sound [Refrain & Outro] (We waste our lives away) With these laments to youth (We're all lost anyway) So cut your strings and come down (We waste our lives away) Looking for things to lose (We're all lost anyway) [?] sound Cause the black heart in you (We're all lost anyway) Is the only thing that I've found (We waste our lives away) That matters at all (We're all lost anyway)
