Hear my words and be confused As you look into my eyes and feel my blues Happiness is hiding from The darkness to which my heart has clung Oh, oh, lost control I hold the answer, but my heart wants more Don't even care what I've been fighting for Dreams are there to hold me down Forsaking the peace that I have found So long as I hold onto sleep It keeps me in darkness I'll go on pretending Hear my words and be confused As you look into my eyes and feel my blues Happiness is hiding from The darkness to which my heart has clung Oh, oh, lost control To contentment I've said goodbye There'll never be any compromise As I fight for what could never be And stir the fire that burns within me It only takes but a moment To destroy a life's work beyond all atonement Hear my words and be confused As you look into my eyes and feel my blues Happiness is hiding from The darkness to which my heart has clung Oh, oh, lost control Tearing down old walls to make space for new ones Enjoying the comfort of being wrapped in illusions Hear my words and be confused As you look into my eyes and feel my blues Happiness is hiding from The darkness to which my heart has clung Oh, oh, lost control
