Controlling Crowds Lyrics by Archive

25

2009

[Verse 1]
Why are you so scared and creeping around
Taking photographs all over town
Pictures in the dark that live in the light
The world is my playground too and I’ll do what I like

[Verse 2]
Why are you so scared of falling apart
Intimidating me for falling apart
Stay on your knees with your cross and don’t tell me you know so
The world is my playground too and I refuse to follow

[Pre-Chorus]
Fly with me
Falling through the night
Fly with me
Falling out of sight
Find me
Hold me

[Chorus]
In your arms
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Keep me calm
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come

[Verse 3]
Why are we so obscure and creeping around
Hiding from mirrors and screens all over town
Objects disturbing blinding taking the peace in me
The world is my kingdom too and I'll feel what I like in me

[Bridge]
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
Killing my heart I can't face, I can't face no more
The world is my playground too I can’t feel anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Fly with me
Falling through the night
Fly with me
Falling out of sight
Find me
Hold me

[Chorus]
In your arms
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Keep me calm
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come

[Verse 5]
Why are we so cold and breaking apart
Caught up in this storm just breaking apart
Pictures and colours I loved but don't see anymore
The world is my playground too I don't feel anymore

Why are you so adored?

[Outro]
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come
'cos I'm scared of their controlling crowds
Here they come
