House Of Control Lyrics - International Blackjazz Society - Shining

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
