Absence of Control

I swore I'd tear this city down Brick by brick I still wear the scars across my back From the knife you slipped I hung the traitors by their necks I built this dream On blood and sweat I stood to face the jury of wolves And now I've spent a lifetime Living as a sinking ship I only ever lifted spirits When I went to take a sip Now the hounds have come to get me I'm still shipwrecked where you left me If I don't make it Then don't forget me Don't forget the heart I sold I face this struggle every day It's year 8 now I'm not afraid I'm facing facts this life is all I know And we revel in the absence of control --- Absence of Control - Outline In Color
