lyrics

Heaven sends its regards
In response to your inquiry
We regret to inform your
Denial of emergency entry
We wish you the best of luck
In your future endeavors
On this mortal plane
Sincerely

Big hand pushes the little one
In spite of its protest
Every moment’s reaction
Anticipates the very next
Don’t let them bring you down
You’ll get them next time around
When your back is six feet underground

Sometimes I feel like
A wooden puppet
Trippin’ on its own strings
Sometimes I can’t
Get out of my way

Sometimes I feel like
My every motion’s
Takin’ me further away
Sometimes I can’t
Stop these mistakes

God only knows about
What you’ve got in store for you
It’ll do no good to pout
Lift up that well-worn chin
Throw your caution to the wind
Don’t be so focused on the end
When you never really ever began

Sometimes I feel like
A wooden puppet
Trippin’ on its own strings
Sometimes I can’t
Get out of my way

Sometimes I feel like
My every motion’s
Takin’ me further away
Sometimes I can’t
Stop these mistakes

Sometimes I feel like
A rollercoaster
Careenin’ off its own rails
Sometimes I got
Nothin’ to say

Sometimes I feel like
All my emotions
Are gettin’ the better of me
Sometimes I scream
Just to stay sane

Face your fears in grace
When the urge to flee is dominant
Hold your feet in place
Don’t go off and drift among the waves
You have no pull you say
Then why not go and push it anyway
Be not the stone in the wake
Lest you find yourself at the bottom of the lake

Sometimes I feel like
A wooden puppet
Trippin’ on its own strings
Sometimes I can’t
Stop these mistakes

Sometimes I feel like
A rollercoaster
Careenin’ off its own rails
Sometimes I got
Nothin’ to say

Sometimes I feel like
Sometimes I feel like
Sometimes I fear I’ve lost my way

Sometimes I feel like
All my emotions
Are gettin’ the better of me
Sometimes I scream
Just to stay sane
