Illusion of control

Scratching sounds to the bottom of an empty plate
Filling up the space
And driving us insane
All you have got is just an illusion of control
The higher you fly the harder you fall

On some of us life doesn't hit so hard
A bullet in your forehead is the treatment I have found

I've been waiting for change for so many years
But you drew all my dreams away
My knuckles are pale another decade is passing away
I drew my dreams with a chalk under the rain
There is no past and there's no future on the way
Only broken promises remain
Broken promises remain

And doesn't really matter who is wrong and who is right
We are sinking in the swamp of poverty and lies
All we have got is just and illusion of control
The deeper we drown
The slower you fall

On some of us lives doesn't hit so hard
A bullet in your forehead is the treatment I have found

I've been waiting for change for so many years
But you drew all my dreams away
My knuckles are pale another decade is passing away
I drew my dreams with a chalk under the rain
There is no past and there's no future on the way
Only broken promises remain
Broken promises remain
