[Verse 1]
This isn’t about what you think you know
Isn’t about the things you’ve learned
This is about the way you see everything
This is about the bridges burned
[Pre-Chorus]
But I let it go away, let it go away
[Chorus]
You have no information
You don’t reflect at all
I know your sanctimonious schemes
I will out live them all
[Post-Chorus]
When the strings are gone
When the strings are gone
When the strings are gone
When they’re away
[Verse 2]
You’re livin in a paper world
Amusing yourself with rings of dust
Isn’t it true you’ll never own up to things?
Isn’t it true you really lost?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I let it go away, let it go away
[Chorus Variation]
You have your indignation
And all the things you own
With all your sanctimonious deeds
I won’t regret at all
Will I live off the radar
And lose respect for all
Or live my life in pursuit of a dream
To save what’s left of my soul
[Post-Chorus]
When the strings are gone
When the strings are gone
When the strings are gone
When they’re away, when they're away
