Illusion of Control
Cutting Room Floor
GENRE
Flip the pillow, nudge your head
Time to leave this quiet bed
Start the day with good mistakes
Say a prayer for things that break
Sailing like a queen across a sea of broken blades
The cards said you’d be down on your luck
This year & the year after that
All your notebooks getting stuck shut
Tripped up, landing flat on your back
But you just made your coffee & clocked into work
Tried your hardest not to be a fucking jerk
Ran your hands over your head & didn’t cry
Acted like you didn’t know you couldn’t lie
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Work your magic, move your feet
Lеt them try to make you eat
Givе the bad love leave to go
Watch the rain become the snow
You broke yourself against a wall
& broke the wall & knocked the house down
Lay beneath the rubble like all
You could do was wait to be found
Well, did you know that you’re my fucking heroine
I just watched your heart decide to shed its skin
& I don’t know how much of you it’s gonna take
Maybe lifetimes, I refuse to speculate
Beneath the illusion of control
Is nothing but an endless fall
& of course we’re tired & of course we’re ill
& of course we wish we could claw & kill
But you dove down where you could be still
& see the hole you had to fill
Look at your blood
Look at your face
I’m so in love
With what you’ve made
You made tea & you made room
Didn’t even know for whom
Swept the floor & made things nice
No such thing as the same river twice
Time to leave this quiet bed
Start the day with good mistakes
Say a prayer for things that break
Sailing like a queen across a sea of broken blades
The cards said you’d be down on your luck
This year & the year after that
All your notebooks getting stuck shut
Tripped up, landing flat on your back
But you just made your coffee & clocked into work
Tried your hardest not to be a fucking jerk
Ran your hands over your head & didn’t cry
Acted like you didn’t know you couldn’t lie
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Work your magic, move your feet
Lеt them try to make you eat
Givе the bad love leave to go
Watch the rain become the snow
You broke yourself against a wall
& broke the wall & knocked the house down
Lay beneath the rubble like all
You could do was wait to be found
Well, did you know that you’re my fucking heroine
I just watched your heart decide to shed its skin
& I don’t know how much of you it’s gonna take
Maybe lifetimes, I refuse to speculate
Beneath the illusion of control
Is nothing but an endless fall
& of course we’re tired & of course we’re ill
& of course we wish we could claw & kill
But you dove down where you could be still
& see the hole you had to fill
Look at your blood
Look at your face
I’m so in love
With what you’ve made
You made tea & you made room
Didn’t even know for whom
Swept the floor & made things nice
No such thing as the same river twice
