By a Thread

We feel the fractures, we see the rust
Lay waste the kingdom, reject the one we trust
You broke the halo, fell through the floor
Rename our heroes, we close another door

We died upon the words you sold us
We suffered in vain
Recalling every vow you severed
It will never be the same

If we follow down the road you led us
Try and find the way to get us free
You're holding us all by a thread
If we swallow all the drugs you fed us
Letting go the times you made us bleed
You're holding us all by a thread
By a thread

Time for redirection, take back another day
No false connection, regaining sight
This course correction may bring us back to life

We died upon the words you sold us
We suffered in vain
Recalling every vow you severed
It will never be the same

If we follow down the road you led us
Try and find the way to get us free
You're holding us all by a thread
If we swallow all the drugs you fed us
Letting go the times you made us bleed
You're holding us all by a thread

No more confusion, corruption dividing us
No blood on the path before me
Witness the fall of illusion inside of us
Defining the plague I see
If we fall for what you said
We're hanging by a thread

If we follow down the road you led us
Try and find the way to get us free
You're holding us all by a thread
If we swallow all the drugs you fed us
Letting go the times you made us bleed
You're holding us all by a thread
If we follow down the road you led us
Try and find the way to get us free
You're holding us all by a thread
If we swallow all the drugs you fed us
Letting go the times you made us bleed
You're holding us all by a thread
