Beyond My Control

Have you forgotten what it's like to make a
Woman happy? And to be made happy yourself?
I? Of course not
We loved each other once, didn't we?
I think it was love. You made me very happy
And I could again, we'd just untie the knot, it was never broken
Illusions, of course, are by their nature slight
I have no illusions, I lost them on my travels

We are fire cannibals, cavemen in couture
Refined, craving your hate, mediocre loves du jour
I love your sweet tooth, the taste is so pure
Leave me begging for the truth, dying for the cure

It's beyond my control
I'll bite my tongue until it bleeds
Until I swallow its souls
Sleepless nights wasted in dreams
It's beyond my control
I'll bite my tongue until I scream
Until it swallows me whole
We were never meant to be
It's beyond my control

The excitement of watching her betray everything
That's most important to her. I'm sure you understand
That. I thought betrayal was your favorite hobby
No, cruelty

Laying down in a bed of roses, inside a garden of eyes
A castle of being hopeless built on the backs of broken lives
Another chapter closes in sickness and in health
I see there's no hope left, we're just lying to ourselves

It's beyond my control
I'll bite my tongue until it bleeds
Until I swallow its souls
Sleepless nights wasted in dreams
It's beyond my control
I'll bite my tongue until I scream
Until it swallows me whole
We were never meant to be
It's beyond my control

It's that woman, isn't it?
You're quite right about that, Miss Kennedy
