CONNECT​/​CONTROL

from BRIGHTON by Joe Sorensen

lyrics

I'm diggin' in a graveyard searchin' for something to resurrect
So many skeletons, so many shadows I long to reconnect

And there were sheep in wolves' clothing
And the ones I drove away
Every face still feels familiar
I remember every name

I've learned and long to try again
Is it too late to make amends?
What could I say to gain a second chance?

I've learned and long to try again
Is it too late to make amends?
What could I say to gain a second chance?

There's an answer in that question

I come upon a gravestone and it says: Your Name Goes Here
Until you learn to kill control they will always disappear

I tried to make you love me
And I tried to make you stay
And now I'm trying to bring you back to me

I tried to make you love me
And I tried to make you stay
And now I'm trying to bring you back to me

I've learned nothing, I've learned nothing

I'm haunted by the ghost of false control
Searching for something it could never hold
The only way that I can save my soul
Is to let go

I'm haunted by the ghost of false control
Searching for something it could never hold
The only way that I can save my soul
Is to let go

I was diggin' in a graveyard searchin' for something to resurrect
I came upon a gravestone, it said: You are all that's left
