The Ghost Of My Control
Sator · Basement Noise [2006]
There's nothing you can say about what I kept or left behind
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
No I don't need your helping hand no I don't care what you say
I will do the things I do yeah I will find my way
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Who's that calling out for me now
What's that banging on my door
Well I think it's all too clear now
It's the ghost of my control
I've been moving forward so I've lost my best defense
Instead of going slowly I've been doing my American dance
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Running for a chance to meet myself but I'm way ahead of me
So any means to any end and please get me there for free
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Who's that calling out for me now
What's that banging on my door
Well I think it's all too clear now
It's the ghost of my control
You're calling me a liar well I'm not the only one
You're doing this for something well I'm doing this for fun
But there was nothing I could run from 'cause there's nothing there at all
I just arrived at nowhere still waiting for that call
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Who's that calling out for me now
What's that banging on my door
Well I think it's all too clear now
It's the ghost of my control
Who's that calling out for me now
What's that banging on my door
Well I think it's all too clear now
It's the ghost of my control
