Acquisition

[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]
