Did you notice
The marionette strings
Around your wrists
Or did you just forget that I exist?
If the fire started burning too close
Would you follow me
Follow me back home?
If the world started falling apart
Would you promise to hold me close?
And when the sun goes dark tonight
Would you promise to stay and fight?
A typical day
Another dumpster fire
Breathing in the fumes
Of the funeral pyre
A cynical face
On the fateful day
That we all just watched it
Blow away
I would say (woah)
It's the end of the world
So, won't you stop and
Watch it burn with me
I would say (woah)
We're all a little tired
So won't you
Come back home to me

If the fire started burning too close
Would you follow me
Follow me back home?
If the world started falling apart
Would you promise to hold me close?
And when the sun goes dark tonight
Would you promise to stay and fight?
Those strings that bind you
They're pulling you away
The mask you hide behind
Started to be your face inside
Those walls confine you
Shutting you away
Locking you in darkness
With a smiling face
I would say (woah)
It's the end of the world
So, won't you stop and
Watch it burn with me
I would say (woah)
We're all a little tired
So, won't you
Stop and stand with me
If the fire started burning too close
Would you follow me
Follow me back home?
If the world started falling apart
Would you promise to hold me close?
And when the sun goes dark tonight
Would you promise to stay and fight?

A nuclear family with a
Ticking time bomb
And we know the end is
Not too long
My loves comes
No strings attached
You're free to go
My Pinocchio
When the fire gets too close
When the world starts to blow
Come back home
When you're tired of the road
When the night gets too cold
Come back home

Come back home

And when the sun goes dark tonight
Would you run away (run away)
Or would you stay and fight?
