He Who Pulls The Strings Ties a Knot

I've learned that lashes steer the ship
That there's a purpose for the whip
I ingratiate my demons, they tell you that I don't lose my clip
I know a man who lives to toil
He only exists to work the soil
I emasculate his reason to keep them loyal

You, are you broken, losing focus?
Friedrich nietzsche on a bender
So unstable
Waiting for something to save
I can't give back
All of the light I stole
(All the light you stole)
Pretend I never cared at all
I was made to loathe

I'm telling you that all I know is hate
And it ate all my faith
How I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again, can I show you my pain?
Because we all, we all get lost

Bring me the scalps of every king
So that the matriarch will sing
Televise the final rapture
Until they decide to pull the strings
I know a God who'd like to meet you
Infinite hell that will defeat you
And if you make yourself my enemy
Well, I see your point of view

Tell me what you know
I need to heal you completely
Who are you now?
Ooh

Stop, inward motion
Seek a vision
Imitate nebuchadnezzar
Bleed your passion or get the fuck out of the way
I played my part
All of the lines I wrote
(The lines you wrote)
But I can't force you to believe
I was made to lead fractured men from depravity

I'm telling you that all I know is hate (I know is hate)
And it ate all my faith
I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again, (see me again)
Can I show you my pain? (show you my pain)
Cause we all, we all get lost

We all get lost
Who are you now?
