Illusion And Control

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, [then?]
We're entitled in a foreign land
Oh, [then?]
Nothing's ever done.

[Chorus 1:]
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.

[Verse 2:]
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?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, [then?]
We existed in a different place
Oh, [then?]
Nothing's ever done.

[Chrorus 2:]
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.

[Bridge:]
[?]
We will hold all the opposition's gold
[?]
I can't settle down
Without using someone else.

I've been down in the same trench
Under the [?]
Under the stairwell
It's hard to bankrupt
You made a promise
I looked away
I'll never forget that
You kept creating your portrait
Out of a shadow
Out of an idea
You never had
You never wanted
You never could
I'll never forget that.
