House of Control

I hear this broken sound

of what`t 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 hideI 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 lieBehind this cold and empty stare I know I was never thereNow 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 -

for a place in this House of ControlI`ve tried and tried but cannot hide from my dying drive

I`ve seen this across the sky, I came to say goodbye

I thouht I could control the end,

thought I would change, but now i can`t pretend

I know how this will end, now I see whyBehind 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 the place

In this empty House O ControlThere was a time before this time

When I told myself

There was a time before this when I told myself

It was worth the sacrifice

To sacrifice all I loved for

what I was going to 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 sureDamn 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 holeBehind the taste of what I said

Behind the silence in my head

Behind this cold and empty bed

Where thoughts of you are all foun deadHey! (12)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 loveNow 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 loveNow 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 empty House Of ControlNow 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
