Emotion Sickness - Illuminatus

Asylums for abandoned dreams

And aborted revolutions

The echoes of a dying mind

It’s only the faces that change

And you walk again

Along that thin white line

A poem for the dead

A refuge for the weak

Staring through a photograph

Do you ever wonder how you’re still holding on?

This is what you’ve become

And you’re no longer in control

Pictures of white fences on the cover of a housewives' magazine

There is so much left to lose

Her portrait is still hanging on the wall

From the bottom of an empty glass your own reflection points and laughs

There is so much left to lose

And you’re no longer in control

Staring through a photograph

Do you ever wonder how you’re still holding on?

This is what you’ve become

And you’re no longer in control
