Strings Lyrics by Chris Ayer

2019

[Verse 1]
I burn myself to sleep at night
Collecting scars when all the blisters turn white
When you feel numb, then feeling something feels alright
So I hurt myself on purpose
Get past the surface of my life

[Verse 2]
Now it feels like a good time for a drink
You get anything wet enough and it's gonna sink
Down at the bottom it will get real you hard to think
What was I saying? Start again

[Chorus]
Yes I am home
I am holding on
I am holding on by strings
I am hold'
I am holding on
Holding on to anything

[Post Chorus]
I got nothing to give you
I got nothing to give you
But here I am tonight

[Verse 3]
When it got too hard to stick around
I took my, fill it too many pills and whatever else I found
Down at the bottom something new came out my mouth
However this was given living now

[Chorus]
Yes I am homе
I am holding on
I am holding on by strings
I am hold'
I am holding on
Holding on to anything

[Post Chorus]
I got nothing to give you
I got nothing to give you
I got nothing to give you
Ohhh, nothing to givе you
But here I am tonight
Here I am tonight
Here I am tonight

[Bridge]
As it turns out sometimes the asshole wins
It'll stop your heart and make it hard to start again
If they're not busy fighting, may as well just pack it in
The fear just means I'm here
Let's begin

[Chorus]
Yes I am home
I am holding on
I am holding on by strings
I am hold'
I am holding on
Holding on to anything

Yes I am home
I am holding on
I am holding on by strings
I am hold'
I am holding on
Holding on to anything

[Post Chorus]
I got nothing to give you
I got nothing to give you
I got nothing to give you
Ohhh, nothing to give you
Here I am tonight
