A Pedestal Abhorred by To Heaven Earth Is Hell Lyrics

Call it vanity; I never asked for them
To put me on a pedestal
I just did me; and I never caved
Guess I got carried away

You’ve put me center stage and burned your gaze through me
Now you’re pulling the rug from under me

Put me back on stage. Burn your gaze into me
Please don’t leave the ash to waste

Weave your strings through all my being - I will play along

I will pour my soul into whatever mold you hold
To get back on that pedestal I once abhorred
So weave your strings, be my wings, make me soar
Maybe they will act their part once more

My puppet, oh you’re free
As long as you will see
To tend to all the strings
That connect you with me
My puppet, don’t you forget
The times that you’ve felt free
Are the times you didn’t question me
Don’t you dare cut ties with me

I never caved - I did just me

Oh vanity, vanity. Fill my mind with another one’s needs
Oh vanity, let it be so they look up to me
All eyes on me, all eyes on…

All eyes on me but they all look like they pity me
The pedestal erodes. The pedestal erodes
And I can’t think of anything. It’s too late to cut these strings
I cave. Did I do myself in?

What you’ve got that I don’t? What you’ve got that I don’t, huh?
What you’ve got that I don’t? What you’ve got that I don’t?
