lyrics

Find myself in unfamiliar surroundings
Find relief in disconnection
It’s been far too long since these tired eyes have seen
Anything worth seeing, anything worth remembering
Lose myself - down the rabbit hole I go
Losing recollection of the things I claimed to know
Disassociating, my life playing on a screen
Behind these eyes I watch it happen, no-one hears my screams

When you see the world without your own eyes
Re take control Retake control
When the chips are down and you have to find a way out
Retake control I Retake control
Time to go on the attack
There is no going back
No more crying no more tears
Time to let go of our fears

The ceaseless march of time
Drags me lifelessly behind
Pointless inundation
Pouring poison in my mind
Every second, every moment lethargically crawls
And I’m losing hours and days and weeks to the boredom of it all
Everything I could have sown, what could be evergreen
Fades to copper lifelessness, my thoughts captured in a scene
Every fearful breath just brings me closer to the last
Behind these eyes, I watch the static…

The still life optic, retinal burn in my sight
Sensory override, circuitry virucide
Feeling the pressure, With no direction, I must
Flee from this labyrinth, crowded necropolis

When you see the world without your own eyes
Re take control Retake control
When the chips are down and you're trying to find a way out
Retake control, I Retake control
Time to go on the attack
There is no going back
No more crying no more tears
Time to let go of your fears

This power that’s surging, shifting new winds through the corridors of my mind!!! SAX SOLO!!

When i see the world without my own eyes
Retake control, Retake control
When the chips are down,I have to find a way out
Retake control, i Retake control
Every path will lead me to a new beginning
That will free me of the constraints I had before
Revealing a sight that leads me to the truth
It will never be lost again

Time to go on the attack
There is no going back
No more crying no more tears
Time to let go of these fears
