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
