Lyrics
Illusion & Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you settling?
The faces, the shadows
They're fading away
Wasting it all
Wasting it all
Without any direction
And I can't settle down
Without losing something else
Oh, (then?)
We're entitled in a foreign land
Oh, (then?)
Nothing's ever done
Dare I place it all inside of something I can't reach
When I know that I can make it on my own
We could never know
Is it close enough?
Tracing the outline
It's fading away
Wasting it all
Wasting it all
Without any direction
And I need something more
Could you make it feel the same?
Oh, (then?)
We existed in a different place
Oh, (then?)
Nothing's ever done
Dare I place it all inside of something I can't reach?
When I know that I can make it on my own
We could never know
We will hold all the opposition's gold
Made it past all the conflicts of our past
I can't settle down
Without using someone else
I've been counting the seconds
After the handshake
Under the stairwell
It's hard to bankrupt
You made a promise
I looked away
I'll never forget that
You can't create a portrait
Out of a shadow
Out of an idea
You never had
You never wanted
You never could
I'll never forget that
