Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray

Seether Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray Lyrics
1.Fur Cue

It's all too revealing
Your words are deceiving
I can't let you get in my way

I sense all your actions
Are meant as distractions
You must know I won't play your game

FAKE! your more than I can take
And something's going to BREAK!
Get out of my head
No SHAME! you're passing all the blame
And nothing's going to CHANGE!
Get out of my head

You make me realize that's it's all a lie
And it comes as no surprise
Stay for awhile
Stay 'cause you make me smile
THERE'S NO COMPROMISE!!!

I'm sick of pretending
The thoughts are unending
I can't let you get in my way (there's no way home)
I'm no longer bending
My mind set is mending
And now I have something to say (deny me)

FAKE! your more than I can take
And something's going to BREAK!
Get out of my head
No SHAME! you're passing all the blame
And something's going to CHANGE!
Get out of my head

You make me realize that's it's all a lie
And it comes as no surprise
Stay for awhile
Stay 'cause you make me smile
THERE'S NO COMPROMISE!!!

Album: Holding On To Strings Better Left To Fray

Fake your more than I can take
And something's going to break
Get out of my head

SHAME! you're passing all the blame
And nothing's going to CHANGE!
Get out of my head

You make me realize that's it's all a lie
And it comes as no surprise
Stay for awhile
Stay 'cause you make me smile
I see no compromise
Stay for awhile
Stay 'cause you make me smile
I see no compromise
Stay for awhile
Stay 'cause you make me smile
THERE'S NO COMPROMISE!!!

SHAME! you're passing all the blame
And nothing's going to change
Get out of my head


2.No Resolution

I'm doing fine
Even though you preyed upon my mind
Been living a lie
Seems every day it eats me

Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
You don't get it then I'm your pollution

I'm breathing a sigh
In passing away I'll take my time
I'm still getting high
I love the way it feeds me

Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
Just don't get it then I'm the solution now


You can't keep me down my friend
You can't keep me down my friend

I'm doing fine
Even though t hatred plagues m mind
I'm living a lie
But I love the way you need me

Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
You don't get it then I'm your pollution

Yeah, and there's no resolution
Yeah, but it makes me think twice
Yeah, and I need retribution
You don't get it then I'm the solution now


3.Here And Now

This fear has me chilled down to the bone
And I have been haunted by these
things I still have left to say

I'm weary of fighting this alone
So tired of holding on to strings much better left to fray

And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me down
And this seems so complicated
When all I want is just the truth

I'm wilted and faded after all
Too strung out and burnt out to be
half the man that I could be

I'll never belong inside your world
So black out the sun and leave me to play out the same old
tragedy

And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out
And this seems too complicated
When all I want is just the truth
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out
And this seems too complicated
When all I want is just the truth

You're my savior after all
Use your flame to guide me home
And then lay your hand on me

Holding On To Strings Better Left To Fray 2011

And I said
Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me down
And this seems so complicated
When all I want is just the truth

Hear me now here and now I'm calling
Memories wear me out
And this seems too complicated
When all I want is a part of you


4.Country Song

Well I can't stand to look at you now
This revelation's out of my hands
Still I can't bear the thought of you now
This complication's leaving me scared

Stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey, keep your sickness off me tryin to get through
Blame all your weakness on me
Shame that I'm so contrite
Hey, keep your fingers off me, why can't I get through?

You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth

(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You've got me thinking that the party's all over

Well I can't stand to be myself
This liberation's seemingly rare
And I can't stand the taste of your mouth
This sublimation's out of my hands

You stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey, keep your sickness off me tryin to get through
Shame you cant take this from me
Bane on the empty mind
Hey, keep your fingers off me, why can't I get through?

(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You've got me thinking that the party's all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down because I am trying to get through

Say what you want but you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want, but just leave me alive
Say what you want but you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want, but just leave me alive

(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
Still you believe that we can start it all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down because the party's all over
Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down because I am trying to get through


5.Master Of Disaster

Steal my sight and then
Fill my mind with foreign words
to keep me wanting
And speak now child
And chill my heart with all the hurt
and keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind

Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dream
Now all i believe is dead inside
Be quick now child
And soil my bed with all your dirt
Just keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind

Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams

Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all i believe is dead inside

Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable
If I get too weak
Cut no slack
But don't let me be comfortable

Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable

Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
If you say you're alive
When you pray you're a liar
Oh you'll hate when I'm right
And you lay in the fire


6.Tonight

I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life
How did we get here
Did we forget all the things inside
And how do we stay here
Do we embrace all the things tonight
I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the roof top down
Until it's over
And we're older

For my entertainment
You tell a whimsical lie
To keep me complacent
You knock me down with a smile

How did we get here
How do we pretend everything's alright
And how do we stay here
Do we erase all the fear inside

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the roof top down
Until it's over
And we're older
Like sugar and cyanide
These walls are going to collide
I want to yell it from the roof tops down
Until it's over
And we're older

So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somwhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home
So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somwhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home

If I was to die tonight
Would it tear you apart
Would you yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over
And you're older

I feel so alive tonight
You've got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over
And we're older

Like sugar and cyanide
These walls are going to collide
I want to yell it from the roof tops down
Until it's over
And we're older


7.Pass Slowly

I think it's time for a change
Cause things feel out of touch
And I watch you walk away again
Well this feels like too much
And thins won't go my way
Now I'll have to fade away my friend

So pass slowly
And carry me down
Then render me lonely
When you're not around

I need to shake off this pain
But courage takes too much
So I have to walk away again

Oh god I miss your touch
The way you keep me safe
I won't let you fade away my friend

So pass slowly
And carry me down
Remember me only
When you're not around

Oh yeah
Can't you stay awhile longer
Oh yeah
Won't you stay
God please stay
And pass slowly
And whittle me down
Render me lonely
When you're not around

So pass slowly
And let me down easy
Render me lonely
When you're not around


8.Fade Out

Fade out like a photograph
Just a memory to forget
You burn black like a cigarette
I'll discard you when I'm done
You break down when you need the rest
What a selfish way to drown
Then lay down with the thief you met
And enjoy the pride you've won

So let loose those tears darling
Cause I'll turn my back

So tell me the story
How you lose this all I'm guessing
But don't tell me you're sorry
I am through with it all and I won't be back again

I'm burnt out on your etiquette
How you caponize the son
Then lay down with another one
As you canonize yourself

So let loose those tears darling
Cause I'll turn my back
So tell me the story
How you lose this all I'm guessing
But don't tell me you're sorry
I am through with it all and I won't be back again

You're breaking all the rules and killing all my self
esteem that's left
You take me for a fool
You're killing all my self esteem that's left
So tell me the story

How you lose this all I'm guessing
You're looking so worried
Can you feel it come undone
Such a pitiful story
But I finally learned my lesson
Don't tell me you're sorry
I am through ith it all
And I won't be back again


9.Roses

You feed this disease
which you shelter underneath the stars
and dream of better things rendered helpless
by those wicked charms
But please don't believe when I say
it's hard to breathe
Save me even as you break me
Every time you rape me leave me coming all undone
Praise me, Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me,
Keep me underneath your thumb

You bleed on the sheets
Whisper softly how you love the stars
Then plead on your knees
Pledge your promises to do no harm
But please just let me be
I still find it hard to breathe
Save me even as you break me
Every time you make me
Leave me coming all undone
Praise me, Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me,
Keep me underneath your thumb

Save me, even as you break me
Every time you rape me
leave me coming all undone
Praise me, Turn your back and hate me
Every time you waste me,
Keep me underneath your thumb
Save me, don't turn your back and break me
Every time you rape me
leave me coming all undone


10.Down

Well you can take back all the smiles
I realize that you choke me out
as you fill my body with doubt
Save all that's mine
You feel like you can push me around
And rub my face in the ground
With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down

Wish I could take back all that's mine
I realize now I'm so run down but
I know I will figure it out
Please stay awhile
I really think I need this more
than I have ever implied

With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down

I guess I'm just another distraciton
But who can blame me for wanting more

With every lesson that you feel is mine
You've got to throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
You can't just throw it all upon me
Why'd you have to put me down

And every inch you take is suicide
Why'd you fucking doubt me
Why'd you have to put me down
And every breath you take is killing mine
Why'd you fucking doubt me
Why'd you have to put me down


11.Desire For Need

It's so depressing how you wag your tongue
And maim with words as you please
I'm second guessing you're the chosen one
Think you can cure my disease

You wear out and lay cliam to my mind
Get out
I'm begging you please

You're so excited to bleed
You've got me on my knees
Betrayed desire for need
But I'm giving up
Yeah I'm giving up

As a confession you reach for your gun
Then cry a hole in my sleeve
It's overrated kissing you for fun
Now all I taste is the sleaze

You wear out and lay claim to my mind
Get out
I'm begging you please

You're so excited to breed
You've got me on my knees
Betrayed desire for need
But I'm giving up
Yeah I'm giving up

You're so excited to breed
You've got me on my knees
Betrayed desire for need
But I'm giving up
Yeah I'm giving up
You've got me right where you want me
You've got me feeling so small
You've got me right where you want me
I'll never deliver myself

I'll never deliver myself

You wear out and lay claim to my mind
Get out I'm begging you please

You're so excited to bleed
You've got me on my knees
Betrayed desire for need
But I'm giving up
Yeah I'm giving up
You're so excited to bleed
You've got me on my knees
Betrayed desire for need
But I'm giving up
Yeah I'm giving up

But now I deliver myself


12.Forsaken

Now I'll take the blame
So forget my name
Just close the blinds
So I can come down
I'm naked and shamed
I'm off to the flame
Just take my hand
So we can both drown

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

The same sweet game
Your halo is a flame
Feel my heart race
And breathe a sad sight
Let me wash away
And let go of the pain
Just look away
And turn a blind eye

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again (again)

So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer

So hold me down
If I feed I'm Stronger
I don't feel no longer

So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again(again)
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only release is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again(again)


13.Dead Seeds

Wake like a pendulum swinging in circles
You can't relate to
A world that don't involve your greed
And as I say this
The words are pouring from a bleeding mouth
But if I stay here
You'll only render me the weak one

So turn that focus back off me now
Go get your broken mirror

The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will
Find it hard to scream

Hey, I wish I could find a way to turn this around
But if I play God
Then everything just goes to seed
And as I say this
I hope that you can hear me bleeding out
Oh God I hate this
I'm all alone and I am beaten down

So turn that focus back off me now
Go get your broken mirror

The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
It all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black clouds you will
Find it hard to scream

As you spit your blame on me
Please tread softly as you go
I don't have enough to give
When you have robbed me of my hope

The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
It all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black clouds you will
Find it hard to scream

I can't permit this
I can't permit this
As God as my witness
I cannot save from burning now


14.Yeah

I can't remember a better day
One without giving up
The shine has worn off the things you say
It's just not good enough
I need to take this back and slow it down, shine your crown
I can't pretend that I feel the same
My skin's not thick enough

There's no comfort in song
I find it hard to believe

Don't go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark's right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it's all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can't keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on

There is nothing that you can say
To bring me running back
My mind is reeling but it's okay
The storm is pushing back
Another open mouth to cut me down, let me drown
I can't remember a better day
But I'm not coming back

There's no comfort in song
I find it hard to believe

Don't go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark's right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it's all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can't keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on

So don't go gently into the night
But keep on fighting as the light dies
A wise man knows that the dark's right
But will keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it's all right
But the sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can't keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on

Keep on coming, keep on coming on
Some will tell you that it's all right
The sun is burning in a dead sky
But you can't keep living in a broke mind
So keep on running, keep on coming on


15.Nobody

I'm trying to find a reason to mend my ways
But this hesitation, well it slows me down
And it feels like I have lost you along the way, yeah
No ventilation, well it chokes me out
(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way, yeah
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You die with a lonely heart

I am filled with reservation and you with shame
A compulsive nature and a hurtful mouth
Now I make this observation to clear my name, yeah
You're a black constellation with the stars burnt out
(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way, yeah
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You die with a lonely heart

You can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay

(Confront it)
If you keep talking that way, yeah
Nobody's gonna find it hard
If you keep passing the blame, yeah
You die with a lonely heart

You can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay, yeah
Can't make me stay


16.Effigy

Say what you want but you're not getting through to me
Can you take it, can you take it?
Pray if you want but you can't get a piece of me
Can you save this, can you save this?
Don't keep saying I'm afraid of a new day
Don't you hate that, really hate that?
So stay if you want but we'll burn you an effigy
So separate us, separate us
Cause I've been waiting for something beautiful
Can you serve it up for me?
I've been thinking that something's wrong with me
Clear it up for me
And I've been hoping for something meaningful
Can you serve it up for me?
Yeah I've been looking for something to keep coming back for
more
Say what you want but you're not getting through to me
Can you take it, can you take it?
Pray if you want but you can't get a piece of me
Can you save this, can you save this?
Don't keep saying I'm afraid of a new day
Don't you hate that, really hate that?
So stay if you want but we'll burn you an effigy
So separate us, separate us
Cause I've been waiting for something beautiful
Can you serve it up for me?
I've been thinking that something's wrong with me
Clear it up for me
And I've been hoping for something meaningful
Can you serve it up for me?
Yeah I've been looking for something to keep coming back for
more

Say what you want but you're not getting through to me
Can you take it, can you take it?
Pray if you want but you can't get a piece of me
Can you save this, can you save this?
Don't keep saying I'm afraid of a new day
Don't you hate that, really hate that?
So stay if you want but we'll burn you an effigy
So separate us, separate us
Say what you want but you're not getting through to me
Can you take it, can you take it?
Pray if you want but you can't get a piece of me
Keep me coming back for more
