lyrics

I am just another son.
I am bright and burned
I killed you on the way out
But you can never die

It’s all about control, isn’t it Rachel.
But it’s so hard to take a step back when every moment BLENDS into the next
And I can’t get above it.

You’ve steered the reins for a long time.
You’ve gotten very good at it.

I just want one second of freedom
Freedom from my fingers freedom from my legs
Freedom from my stomach, my heart, my mind
Freedom from everything that keeps me shackled in

I used to think that I had found that freedom
But its gone now, and maybe its just because I know better
And that is the scariest part of all

Alison wasn’t ever bound this way
The way her eyes lit up when I said something funny
And when her arms were around me, they went on forever
Alison was free
Alison was the moon in eclipse
And now she’s a balloon in the wind

And its just you and me again Rachel
And I swear that you’re a cold bitch
Indifferent but you never leave me alone
And I say things just to hurt you.
But you’ll never let go
You were always in control

You control the sky, it was there before me
You control the earth, it was there before me
You control all those old societies
And everything is handed down by you

So Rachel, what chance did I have?
