lyrics

Control

I would lie awake at night afire
And watch the clock keep losing time and losing time
Keep losing time, keep losing time, slowly fading into silence

And no one lives forever
And I don’t want to be alone
I split my head apart and filled it up with static so that I could cope
Fluorescent, incandescent
Healthy glow of the human sun
A clammy grey approach to day by day and nodding because I couldn’t talk

Lights that shine both day and night inside
No surprise I’m not quite right, but I’m alive
Remove this knife, remove this knife, slowly fading

And no one lives forever
And I don’t want to be alone
I split my head apart and filled it up with static so that I could cope
Fluorescent, incandescent
Healthy glow of the human sun
A clammy grey approach to day by day and nodding because I couldn’t talk
