Lost "Control"

An attempt to tempt temptation we're facing The entire nation is wasting While the time clock is racing Sitting idle I dwell Don't know what to do A bottomless well filled with good intentions That I forgot to mention while men's sons climb the walls Fingers bleed so I choose to run Pain outweighed only by guilt An attempt to hide so no one would see Added my hand by not lending a hand The inevitable entropy Criticize the critter's size This infiltration among us A monstrous demon indeed in need of expatriation The daily battle uphill An upheaval, this weasel An endless war of soldiers who sold their souls Signed their mark on the dotted line Became a mere dot left in time Sand in the glass we know will not last Last train leaves the station Can not stay Have been shunned Should have listened when told On an endless list now too old The souls that time has forgotten A swirl in the whirlpool for getting into this mess A choice we did not choose Being lost made us lose A loser with nothing to lose Loose with our lips Quick with the fists A tunnel with no light The endless darkness in sight Filled with fear, we do not fright For what is wrong feels so right Take the plunge I just might Endlessly spinning in time while getting so high Spinning out of control This way I live, this way I die
