I keep tugging
At your seams
Unraveling unraveling your sanity

The more you struggle
The tighter my grip
Your bleeding through the strands clutching as it slips

And if I cut it
You'll fall to your knees
Come crawling, crawling back
Crawling back to me

You'll learn to love it
My marionette
Stringing you along, for my entertainment

Come in close No, keep your eyes closed
Give me control

Touch your lips Before I go
Always almost

I only feel alive
When you're begging to be mine
I only get this high
From the hunger in your eyes

I keep you
Keep you hanging on to my red thread
I keep you
Keep you hanging on

And when you wake up
I'll be gone
Moving moving moving moving On to the next one

But when you call me
I'll pick up
Tell ya tell ya tell ya That it may be love

I only feel alive
When you're begging to be mine
I only get this high
From the hunger in your eyes

I keep you
Keep you hanging on to my red thread
I keep you
Keep you hanging on
I keep you
Keep you hanging on to my red thread

I only feel alive
When you're begging to be mine
I only get this high
From the hunger in your eyes
