Puce Mary - To Possess is to Be in Control

It makes me weak
To watch you gaze and go on with that expression on your face
Like a puppet

It makes me weak
To watch you gaze at the world
Like there's nothing left

It makes me sick
To open my body to you
To give you all I have

If I can possess you
Like I can possess my own body
To possess is to be in control

I put my hands on your body, on your flesh
I feel the history of that body

When I put my hands on your body
I feel the history of that body

(To possess, to possess)

If I could attach your blood vessels
So we could become each other, I would

If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
(To possess, to possess)

If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin

To look out your eyes
Forever have my lips glued with yours
(To possess, to possess)

Feel the history of your body
(To possess, to possess)

(To possess is to be in control)

If I could attach your blood vessels
So we could become each other, I would
(To possess is to be in control)

If I could attach your blood vessels
And we could be together
To this space and time, I would

If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin
If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin

I want your life
What happens to it?

If I could open your body and slip up inside of your skin, I would

(To possess is to be in control)
