Control and the Urge to Pray Lyrics by Saosin

Along the Shadow

2016

[Verse 1]
I've already been there
A broken lock
Inside a rotting idea of a heart
You'll never find it
You took my name
On top a desolate mountain of hope
[Chorus]
I saw it frame by frame
We'll take it all apart
Until there's nothing left to prove
(I saw it frame by frame)
Perfect the weakest thread until the bitter end!
You'll never see me there within my eyes
Before you know it will be gone
[Verse 2]
I've never heard of
A patient prayer
Within a chorus of unending step
I've already been there
It feels the same
Inside a rotting idea of a heart
If you write it down
It feels the same
[Chorus]
I saw it frame by frame
We'll take it all apart
Until there's nothing left to prove
(I saw it frame by frame)
Perfect the weakest thread until the bitter end!
You'll never see me there within my eyes
Before you know it will be gone
[Bridge]
Beloved restitution
I can't take on the dead
Re-elect all the past solutions
Pass around to say
Something's wrong
[Verse 3]
Always a race to keep you dragging on
Until the currents change
Our days are paced to keep from burning out
You used to care
[Outro]
Always a race to keep you dragging on
(Bent and fold)
Until the currents change
(It takes us all)
Our days it pays to keep from burning out
(I'm sensing shit)
You used to care so much
