Story behind the song
Disguised as something of a love song, but really about seeking love and affection in a destructive way; making my problems someone else's responsibility. This song isn't about any specific event or person, but was inspired by how crazy I was feeling during a dark time in my life and wanting something, anything to make me feel better.
Lyrics
Held together by the strings of my heart I broke a few but the rest remain taut Please be careful if you dare to look inside My brightest smile falls far short of my eyes Blinded by tears I don't know how to shed They beat at the dam that I built in my head No matter how far I try to leave it all behind It all comes screaming back, some things won't ever be denied [Chorus] Beautiful, dangerous I'm out of my mind My muse pulls me forward though I'm charging in blind Helpless I'm calling and there's no one in sight I crave inspiration Will it save me tonight? Sew me together with the strings of your heart I ripped out my stitches when I reached for the stars Alone I have wandered and alone I have stood Selfish martyr though I never understood Imprisoned in darkness, willing stranger to light Please hold me closer in the bitter watches of the night [Chorus] Would you hold me and tell me that I'll be alright? Would you show me that darkness ends in the light? Would you reach out and join me here on the edge? Shouting down the demons that will try to pull me in? They pull me in They pull me in They pull me in Selfish or helpless? I don't want it to end Hopeless I know it But I want what I want And I want it all in the end [Chorus]
