lyrics

These string of mine
Release and wind emotion
In tune themselves
But no one else devotion
If you bend me they will pull me back
If I'm gone too long my veins contract
You won't let me go
But I love you, so help me

These string of mine
Release and wind emotion
In tune themselves
But no one else devotion
If you bend me they will pull me back
If I'm gone too long my veins contract
You won't let me go
But I love you, so help me

Class has begun turn to page 260
Today we will learn about the weakness of Achilles
The truth is music doesn't share well
And wants me all to itself
Every memory on my shelf and lonely practice room
Every morning shower I take and moment spent with you

Its a constant whisper, tingles on my fingers
Its the price I pay at the expense of others
Vice grip on my heart, can't live or fall apart
I love you

These string of mine
Release and wind emotion
In tune themselves
But no one else devotion
If you bend me they will pull me back
If I'm gone too long my veins contract
You won't let me go
But I love you, so help me

Forever nights and sunless days
I lock away and those that love me I forsake
Forever nights and sunless days
I sing songs about you when I could be seeing your face

Maybe you found me at birth
But I'm too humble to proclaim that worth
In any case not till I ascending the staircase
At age eleven in my grandparents' attic
Sat an abandoned fanatic
Fit with six string, red and black painted
Checkered case with a mirrored picguard staring at my face

And in my hands I felt significant
I won't ask for much just love me back
Mended my mind on the fateful night
You found me

These string of mine
Release and wind emotion
In tune themselves
But no one else devotion
If you bend me they will pull me back
If I'm gone too long my veins contract
You won't let me go
But I love you, so help me
