Lyrics Introduction - William Control

Introduction

Sometimes, I don’t recognize the monster looking back at me
And in the mirrors of my own sanity I try and gracefully look away as often as
I can
An outsider in my own skin
A deteriorating sense of hope and all the music I have ever heard
Erased from my memory forever
Lost.
I find myself wandering the halls of regret
Not knowing what door to open
Or what staircase to fall down
Hush.
Eerie silence in the dawn of a new world
It ends abruptly and I can hear the sound of gunpowder exploding
From shells and glass shattering all around me
Sinew on fire, muscles bleeding out of time
And there’s an unfamiliar woman sitting next to me
In a car that I don’t remember falling into
A melody is blaring through my insides, shattering me awake
Wailing and shaking, we are driving on the curb of my own mistakes and I fear
This may be my last night on earth
