House of Control Lyrics by SHINING (NOR)

International Blackjazz Society

2015

[Verse 1]
I hear this broken sound of what'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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Behind this cold and empty stare
I know I was never there
[Chorus]
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 in this House of Control
[Verse 2]
I've tried and tried but cannot hide from my dying drive
I've seen the signs across the sky, I came to say goodbye
I thought 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Behind these red and bloodshot eyes
I know I'll stay this way until I die, because
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
There was a time before this time
When I told myself
There was a time before this time when I told myself
It was worth the sacrifice
To sacrifice all I loved for
What I was gonna 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
[Verse 3]
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 found dead
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus; Extended]
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
Oh yeah
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 House of Control
For a place in this empty House of Control
[Outro]
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
