Saosin - Illusion & Control

Are you settling?
The faces, the shadows are fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I can't settle down
Without losing something else

(Ooh, all right)
We're entitled in a fallen realm
(Ooh, all right)
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of
Something I can't reach
Without knowing that I can make it on my own
We could never know

Is it close enough?
Tracing the outline it's fading away
Wasting it all, wasting it all
Without any direction
And I need something more
Could you make it feel safe?

(Ooh, all right)
We existed in a different place
(Ooh, all right)
Nothing's ever done

Dare I place it all inside of
Something I can't reach
Without knowing that I can make it on my own
We could never know

([Reversed:] I can't settle down without using someone else)
We we're all wrong, all the opposition's gone (opposition's gone)
I needed it all, all the conflicts of our past (conversation's gone)
I can't settle down without using someone else

I've been counting the seconds after the handshakes
I know you sound well, it's such a bad drug
You made a promise, I looked away
I'll never forget the illusion take out your portrait
Out of a shadow, out of an idea
You never had it, you never want it
You never could, I'll never forget that
