lyrics

Imagine things
You would never do
Imagine words
That you never knew

No matter what you think
I’m always in control
No matter what you see
I’m always on a roll

I don’t pretend to be
A wise old lonely soul
I don’t intend to be
Someone that you should know

You take the time
To do something bad
You ask for truth
Until it drives you mad

No matter what you think
I’m always in control
No matter what you see
I’m always on a roll

I don’t pretend to be
A wise old lonely soul
I don’t intend to be
Someone that you should know

You say we know each other
Fooled me twice
It’s like I’m being smothered
On a bed of ice
This can’t go on forever
See it in my eyes
You seem to think you’re clever
Hiding behind the lies
