Illusion & Control

Are you settling?

The faces, the shadows are fading away

Wasting it all, wasting it all

Without any direction

And I can't settle down

Without losing something else

(Ooh, all right)

We're entitled in a fallen realm

(Ooh, all right)

Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of

Something I can't reach

Without knowing 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 safe?

(Ooh, all right)

We existed in a different place

(Ooh, all right)

Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of

Something I can't reach

Without knowing that I can make it on my own

We could never know

([Reversed:] I can't settle down without using someone else)

We we're all wrong, all the opposition's gone (opposition's gone)

I needed it all, all the conflicts of our past (conversation's gone)

I can't settle down without using someone else

I've been counting the seconds after the handshakes

I know you sound well, it's such a bad drug

You made a promise, I looked away

I'll never forget the illusion take out your portrait

Out of a shadow, out of an idea

You never had it, you never want it

You never could, I'll never forget that
