careless passion institutes introducing substitutes
beaming gleam of stretched out skin
water drops made up from sin
careless notion instigates what being alone aggravates
money's not gonna tell you why
search for the answer, grasp the sky

take the pride in what you do
demand the skin and reach out to
manipulate and control fate
of nailed down and aggravated
pain and mesh of flesh on flesh
screw it all so you regret
you lie when you say you don't care
doubt and time will take the dare

so take a part in where it's going
you're in control

looking all around for soul - breathing now to gain control
and all the visions now abound
to see such sights of deafened sound
and all the eyes of countless years - look away, now look at fear
from careless notion instigate
the will of hopeless iterate:

take the pride in what you do
demand the skin and reach out to
manipulate and control fate
of nailed down and aggravated
pain and mesh of flesh on flesh
screw it all so you regret
you lie when you say you don't care
doubt and time will take the dare

and take a part in where it's going
i'm in control
take a part in where it's going
you're in control
