CTRL Lyrics by Lazy Habits

Vermillion Sands

2022

[Chorus]
See the life that I was sold, wasn't advertised
And deep within our souls, we're traumatised
Like I'm standing in control, of a loaded die
And I hope we get to see, this paradise

You see the life that I was sold, wasn't advertised
And, once you see the flaws, they're hard to hide
An illusion of control, we tried to buy
You see the life that I was sold...

[Verse One]
You see this TV's telling me
That I need pedigree
Purchase it for discount
The screen prescribes a remedy
Input from memory
Numbers are engraved on me
Digits to distinguish and dividе us, split
We sit cracked and broke wе quit
We paid for life decisions, but that pay don't fit
But wait, there's a hope
So relax, let's pray
I've heard there's a place
Let's go, be brave

I played for the distance, sink with that
Conscious weaves and I'm back in the flat
Stirred from a scene with a rat-tat-tat
So I clawed to return but I can't get back
Well, they stay in to win
When they soar they fly wing to wing
Nobody wants to be falling so they swim
That's why I know when I smoke, that air is thin

And that chronic
Like a tonic
What I feel
And dulling what I feel has such mass appeal
So I'll lie in these fields
Come alive in these fields
I might die in these fields

[Verse Two]
Signal dropped out for a while
When it came back... no smile
Turned upside down by the way that I know that I am
No child
Grown-up so long now that I wonder how and I wonder why
That I didn't give up, didn't even try
Because I took real life like a set design

And I hear them thunderclaps
At the end of a baseball bat
And I tried to deflect or react
But when those debt-collectors collect
They come for your soul
So, listen
'Cos you bought into the system
No cash-out, no, no resistance
Because it magnifies off the prism
And I know when it feels like tax
Because I know how it feels to be trapped when you feel like you are lost and you can't get back
Because I've been weighed down
So low
So long
Doesn't really matter if you're grown no-no
That's why I feel so cold-shouldered, so
We aim to breathe out by the sea
But in truth we need smoke to breathe
Never want to be the devil
Levels are enabled
Betting off the table
Truth is in the fable
Bigger baddies can be bodied end of levels
All we really need to do is let it go
I tried to hold this but never tried to show it
Now I choose to evolve
Down the river, down the road
With no rudder, no control

[Chorus]
See the life that I was sold, wasn't advertised
And deep within our souls, we're traumatised
Like I'm standing in control, of a loaded die
And I hope we get to see, this paradise

You see the life that I was sold, wasn't advertised
And, once you see the flaws, they're hard to hide
An illusion of control, we tried to buy
You see the life that I was sold...

[Verse Three]
The stake, the balance
The snakes, the ladders
The stick, the carrot
The kind, the callous
Divide the adders

The scrapes, the scratches
The cuts, the bruises
The cash, the credit
The paper, plastic
The fake, the classic
The lake, the rapids
The vacant, vapid
The patient, placid
This beauty, beast
This trick or treat
Is this real life?
Or repeats

Is this real life?
Or repeats...
