lyrics

Break back inside my wooden chest you'll find,
an antique thats stuck in time,
will you rewind the hands back before the clocks stopped.
to tell me you are near?

break back inside, im under lock and key,
chisel holes in my skin to tear me out of me.
The answer to your questions are in those questions that you ask

I know you control me, i told you you do
so why, yeah why ask these questions that you do?
you know me

Between her lines pens and paper dont work.
I do make marks but its the shapes and curves,
that dont make no sence so i leave clean pages

I know you control me, i told you you do
so why, yeah why ask these questions that you always do?
you owe me

I know why your shoes collect stones,
because you forget that your laces are undone.

Breakingins her sleep he rings you in the night
zombie in sheeps skin who's had one too many, possessed

I know you control me, i told you you do
so why, yeah why ask these questions that you always do?
I know you control me
how many times for goodness sakes,
do we have to go through this?
Why yeah why ask those questions that you do,
you own me.
