He sees her standing in the corner looking…bored
Her eyes drift, hips shift, hair flips…bored
He stares, boring holes into her head with his…eyes
He thinks look, look at me, but don’t see through my…lies

Drink in hand, walks right up to her, she ig…nores
Another drink, less inhibition, he im…plores
She looks, looks, sees herself reflecting in his…soul
Voices stripped, meaningless, desires meaning…ful



Words slip around his brain like wet feet on porcelain
Love drips from her lips but there’s no truth sinking in
Another girl another guy another night another lie
You…I’ll let you in



Minds hazy, speeding home, hands reaching, name’s un…known
He talks to fill the silence which has definitely…grown
She listens, doesn’t care, hopes they’ll soon be to his…home
Ignore conscience, embrace impulse, real love’s never really…known

He pours another drink, thinking it will help him…cope
She walks out of the bathroom, wafting scent is that of…soap
He starts to think this through but then he thinks he better…not
She never thought this through it’s just another coping…plot

The morning after, eyes closed, he winces from the…pain
He knows how much he lost last night, not sure of what he…gained
It’s all for fun it’s all for jest, at least that’s what he’s…told
He reaches over, empty bed, the pillow now is…cold

You can’t control your life or death
You can’t control your very breath
You can’t control how deep the depths
Of what you can’t control will go

You are the soul survivor now
You’ll make them pity you somehow
You’ll cry your tears furrow your brow
You’ll let your lack of control show

You cover up all your past pain
You fill your life with empty gain
Your exploits filling you with shame
You hate the light, go down below

You want so desperately to leave
You want them all to now believe
You are perfect, don’t need reprieve
Please tell yourself the truth you know
