Illusion & Control - Saosin

Are you settling?

The faces, the shadows

They’re fading away

Wasting it all

Wasting it all

Without any direction

And I can’t settle down

Without losing something else

Who let?

We’re exiled in a foreign land

Who let?

Nothing’s ever done

Dare I place it all inside of something I can’t reach

When I know that I can make it on my own

We could never know

Is it close enough?

Tracing the outline

It’s fading away

Wasting it all

Wasting it all

Without any direction

And I need something more

Could you make it feel the same?

Who let?

We existed in a different place

Who let?

Nothing’s ever done

Dare I place it all inside of something I can’t reach?

When I know that I can make it on my own

We could never know

(Reversed: I can’t settle down without using someone else)

We will hold all the opposition’s gold

Made it past all the conflicts of our past

I can’t settle down

Without using someone else

I’ve been counting the seconds

After the handshake

Under the stairwell

It’s hard to bankrupt

You made a promise

I looked away

I’ll never forget that

You can’t create a portrait

Out of a shadow

Out of an idea

You never had

You never wanted

You never could

I’ll never forget that
