lyrics

I think I’m losing my control of my self control
Wonder how I used to let myself go
Maybe it’s been too long or it’s too late
And I’ll always be alone behind this smiling face

I want to let you in, for you to see inside
But maybe I still have to wait and give it time
Don’t believe me when I always see OK
One day I made a face and it got stuck that way

If you could control me, would you unfold me?
If you could control me, would you let me know?

Please chip away this stone I am inside
I’m the statue of a man who’s doing fine
He looks down from the hill towards the sea
He wonders if he’ll ever be set free

But maybe he will stand, washed by the rain
Growing yellow lichen skin and acid stains
Forever in himself, he’s in control
With so much love that no-one will ever know

If you could control me, would you take the whole me?
If you could control me, would you let me know?

You’re a strong little one
Would you break me open?
I couldn’t tell you how it’s done
But would you help me open?

Now that I have let you in you see inside
Dissect my anatomy, come for a ride
We look down from the hill towards the sea
Controlling the control, controlling me
