about

This dystopian track deals with the need to escape from a faceless and soulless society. A young couples journey to freedom doesn't go as planned....

lyrics

Control

Just think
What you’ll see there
The colours and the warmth when you step outside
Together
We’ll be there
Promises and laughter see the light
One trick
Oh you’ll be there
Now, down and down and down we go, down, down, down
Just go
To sleep now
There’s nothing left behind you now
There’s no more time

And the awareness drives a smile
As you walk the empty miles
[In silence
Now you found it]

Were you better before
tell me
Were you better before?

And later
When you’ve seen how
The friends in lights no comfort to your eyes
Red sands
And the sea now
We’ll pull them from the river you and I
Is this not
What you wanted
Eyes that smile the sky tears down the dream
They watch
From the lights now
The colours bend the sky tears now the dream

And the awareness drives a smile
As we walk the empty miles
[In silence
Now you found it]

Were you better before?
Tell me,
Were you better before?

Your eyes cast a spell
It’s all I can do to get out of here
All I can do to get out, out, out, out, out
Out
Out
Out
Out
Silent are the streets
Cell, by cell, by cell

And the awareness drives a smile
As you walk the empty miles
[You know that
Now you found it]

We were better before
We were better before

Hand to hand I’ll take you through the plans
See the needle moving know you’ll come out fine
Follow the lights better day
Everyone you love a record to play


The ones above are working to a man
See the zeros moving to my simple plan
Now I’m gonna have to take the light away
All you need to do is face another day
