lyrics

Take more blame
and I will call you
by another name.
One more turn
and I’ll involve you
in another game.
Start near the end,
I could dissolve you
and you would never know.
In my brain
I will control you
everywhere you go.
 
(Stars look near to you,
so far have you been removed.
Paths appear clear to you,
so far have you been removed.)
 
Someone is thinking for you,
a stranger is working on you.
 
Time slowed down
when I was indulging
in another view.
I fell out
when you involved in,
a different thing to do.
 
(Once more time distorts,
so far have you been removed.)

Someone is thinking for you,
a stranger is working on you.
 
Your formula, you’re holding it down,
dysphoria takes us away.
 
You’re resting now,
amenable,
I’ll test you out,
been here before.
We’ve met before,
it’s cyclical,
I’ve seen it all,
identical.
We met before,
inseparable,
familiar,
identical.
 
(Time arrives in your bated breath,
I’m alive in your wasted air,
time survives every wasted year,
you’re surprised that I’m waiting here.
You’re the driver, I’m staying there,
I’ll arrive when you’re nearly here,
I’ve been seeing you everywhere,
I’m a feeling you just can’t bear.
In the scenery we can’t share,
see a meaning which isn’t there.
Time arrived in your bated breath,
I’ve survived every wasted year.)
 
I know your rituals,
I know just how you’ll behave.
I know your rituals,
you’re unlike how you’re portrayed.
 
There’s a calm on the way
and it’s nearer to you everyday,
as you wait.
 
And the truth which you knew,
has been gradually fading from view
and so soon,
you’ll be under,
you’ll be under.
 
And you cease to resist
the addiction which leads you to bliss
and you’ll wish
that you’re under,
that you’re under.
 
An effect taking hold
with no way of maintaining control,
you dissolve
and you’re under,
and you’re under.
