Shining - House of Control lyrics

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
