[Verse 1]

Regress, go back to move forward

You're not alone, we're dragging you along

Buy new ones and tie them on

We wear strings, and we make them sing

[Pre-Chorus]

Now strap these on

We're only pushing ourselves this far

As far as we want

We cannot rest, we must progress

[Chorus]

And I beg, "Sing for me, sing for me"

And they only vibrate for me

How I long for more skillful hands

With fingers that naturally do the dance

But you cannot intimidate me

Though you tie me up with all these strings

But I cannot breathe through these strings

No, I cannot breathe

[Verse 2]

Progress, you have to move forward

We won't sit still

We expect the same of you

Buy new ones and tie them on

[Pre-Chorus]

Now strap these on

We're only pushing ourselves this far

As far as we want

We cannot rest, we must progress

[Chorus]

And I beg, "Sing for me, sing for me"

And they only vibrate for me

How I long for more skillful hands

With fingers that naturally do the dance

But you cannot intimidate me

Though you tie me up with all these strings

But I cannot breathe through these strings

No, I cannot breathe
