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 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 -
for a place in this House of Control

I`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 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 the place
In this empty House O Control

There 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 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 foun dead

Hey! (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 love

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 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
