William Control - Introduction lyrics

Stranger we become through the blurred lens of violence Visions drained of color and sound 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 gla** 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
