Song Description

This song is driven by the snare, with interesting counter rhythms. You can almost feel the pulse. The band weaves in and out of a pretty straightforward, but catchy vocal line.

Lyrics

Fragile strength, but she does what she does. Thinks "just win and bring it all to me." She says, "don't lie when you say what you say to me, And don't say your heart is pure. Just give me more and more and more." Presses through it, ambition drives hard. She yearns to be at the heart of it all, it all, it all, it all. Light burns like daggers inside her eyes, as she paces the floor. Plays right to it, obsession drives far. She climbs to reach the top of it all, it all, it all, it all. Life plays them, with their puppet strings. Life plays them, those queens and kings of fragile strength. He says, "don't try to put that in front of me and don't say Slow down life's short. Promote me more and more and more." Races through it, persistence drives hard. Someday he'll be at the head of it all, it all, it all, it all. Need pulses through him, bursts through his veins, As he works and works some more. Pushes to it, ambition drives far, Someday he'll sit on the thrown of it all, it all, it all, it all. Life plays them, with their puppet strings, Life plays them, those queens and kings.
Life plays them, with fragile strength.
