Lose Control
[Intro]
Dear blackhole, will you read this?
I lost control at the wheel

[Verse 1]
I watch the oceans drown every city
From my penthouse suite, I leave the TV on
The sound of the chatter keeps me from gettin' lonely
Yeah, all the kids have gone
And I’ve been swimmin' in this pool of money
I'm rich like a dead king, they say
My name rings out on those pathetic streets
A hollow sound, a dead wind at the edge of town

[Chorus]
I’ll make them love me
Or I'll buy and sell their sorry souls
The oil is beautiful, it's flowin'
I don't feel empty anymore

[Verse 2]
I live in cold blood in a house with a thousand doors
When the boiler growls, a hundred tigers keep me warm
I'll live forever, charge days to my credit card
I own the future, and I own what's left of yours
[Chorus]
I'll make them love me
Or I’ll buy and sell their sorry souls
The oil is beautiful, and it’s flowin'
I don’t feel empty anymore

[Outro]
Dear blackhole, will you hear me?
We lost control, we lost control, we lost control
Dear blackhole, can you hear me?
We lost control at the wheel
We lost control at the wheel
