House Of Control - SHINING

I hear this broken sound of what’s gone by

I see a tear of lead behind your eye

It’s happening again, I’ve lost this place I didn’t occupy

Our broken fairy tale so hard to hide

I hear it closer now, whisper through the night

I hear it through the dark, whispering a lie

It’s happening again, and you keep telling me you know I tried

But deep inside you know it’s all a lie

Behind this cold and empty stare

I know I was never there

Now I know it’s all a lie

Chose a poison, choose a life

Now I know just what I sold

I sold all the things I love for a place in this House of Control

I’ve tried and tried but cannot hide from my dying drive

I’ve seen the signs across the sky, I came to say goodbye

I thought I could control the end

Thought I would change, but now I can’t pretend

I know how this will end, now I see why

Behind these red and bloodshot eyes

I know I’ll stay this way until I die, because

Now I know it’s all a lie

Choose a poison, choose a life

Now I know just what I sold

I sold all the things I love for a place in this empty House of Control

There was a time before this time

When I told myself

There was a time before this time when I told myself

It was worth the sacrifice

To sacrifice all I loved for

What I was gonna love

There was a time before this time

In my, my, my, my cold black soul

I knew what I was living for

But now, but now I’m not so sure

Damn you life, look what you stole

All this time I’ve played this role

Look deep inside this cold black soul

Where all you’ll find’s a foul dead hole

Behind the taste of what I said

Behind the silence in my head

Behind this cold and empty bed

Where thoughts of you are all found dead

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I know it’s all a lie

Choose a poison, choose a life

Now I know just what I sold

I sold all the things I love

Oh yeah

Now I know it’s all a lie

Choose a poison, choose a life

Now I know just what I sold

I sold all the things I love

Now I know it’s all a lie

Choose a poison, choose a life

I sold all the things I love for a place in this House of Control

For a place in this empty House of Control

Now I know it’s all a lie

Choose a poison, choose a life

Now I know just what I sold

I sold all the things I love for a place in this empty House of Control
