Epic Control

An abyss that laughs at creation,

A circus complete with all fools,

Foundations that lasted the ages,

Then ripped apart at their roots.

Beyond all this good is the terror,

The grip of a mercenary hand,

When savagery turns all good reason,

There's no turning back,

no last stand.

Caressing the marble and stone,

Love that was special for one,

The waste in the fever I heat,

How I wish you were here with me now.

Hearts fail,

young hearts fail,

Anytime,

pressurised,

Overheat,

overtired,

Take it quick,

take it neat,

Clasp your hands,

touch your feet,

Take it quick,

take it neat.

In fear every day,

every evening

He calls her aloud from above

Carefully watched for a reason

Painstaking devotion and love.

Do you cry out in your sleep

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold

Is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

When love, love will tear us apart again.

Get weak all the time,

may just pass the time,

Me in my own world,

yeah you there beside,

The gaps are enormous,

we stare from each side,

We were strangers for way too long.

two ways to choose on a razors edge

remain behind go straight ahead.

room full of people,

room for just one

if i can't break out now, the time just wont come.

“Control” documents Curtis’ life and his relationships with his wife, his girlfriend, his band mates in Joy Division, his battle with epilepsy and his tragic suicide at the age of 23.

Someone take these dreams away,

That point me to another day,

A duel of personalities,

That stretch all true realities.
