The Symphony of Control

Isn’t this nice?
My worst enemy is taking control of me
Isn’t this right?
My love has abandoned me

Now you are telling me
Now is the time
The symphony is controlling my life
Could you be right?
The words inside of me are taking over me
The music is deciding my fate

Now the clock is ticking
The person inside is changing
My heart is breaking
My personality splitting
My lungs are expanding
My faith is collapsing
No alibi could make me alive
So don’t lie to me anymore
Your absence is killing me
Your fabrications are saving me
From knowing the truth about you
But I don’t want to be saved
I want you to tell me the truth

And you are killing me
By telling me
The symphony is controlling your life
The words inside are taking over me
The person I know is changing
My heart is breaking
My lungs are expanding
Your personality splitting
My faith is collapsing

The life we live is burning us down
And now we don’t know what to do
When pebbles fall out of the sky
And shatter our glass castle
And we ask ourselves why
Are we burning ourselves alive?
And we ask ourselves why
Are we trying to die?
