[Verse 1]

The dream began on a stale, grey evening

Child's eyes watching you sitting in a feathered glow

These leprous hands could not touch you

You turned away in the indifferent filament glare

Why should I care? Why should I care?


[Verse 2]

A voice at every opportunity

A relentless insect, I'll crush you like a can

Everything falls apart

Hurry up, I'm waiting for the end of the world to start


[Chorus]

What's the point of being human if you're not in control?

(Every now and then I feel so bored when birth is)

Thе acquisition of a feeling that you're somehow in control

(Yet you shakе your fist at the sky for treating you so)


[Verse 3]

Love is in the corner behind the glass wall

(Why should I care? Why should I care?)

Loneliness eats you in a crowded room

(Why should I care? Why should I care?)

Looking at the state of your naked hands

(Why should I care? Why should I care?)

It's all in your head, get out of my head

Get out of my fucking head


[Chorus]

What's the point of being human if you're not in control

The acquisition of a feeling that you're somehow in control


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 4]

And when you leave you'll leave poor and old

In a house with no doorway and a pot of gold

No-one lied to me "I love you"

No-one lied to me "I love you"

No-one lied to me "I love you"

So why should I care?

So why should I care?


[Instrumental Outro]
