Counting The Cost Ashton Allen

I am ready to be hypnotized
And see the whole world through invisible eyes
I?d feel much better if there was no light
So turn on the dark and I?ll just fade into the night
It?s a trick, believing that you?re in control
Living all of your life, never filling the hole
Every hour that passes is one that I?ve lost
To figure it out, I?m counting the cost
Gratification that has no delay
Its gone in an instant, do you think its okay?
And all of your enemies are closing in tight
You?re down to the left, and they?re up to the right.
It?s a trick, believing that you?re in control
Living all of your life, never filling the hole
Every hour that passes is one that I?ve lost
To figure it out, I?m counting the cost
I know that you love the way I turn you on
Like a beautiful ??? with a worn out welcome
You know that I?d love to sit and stare ???
But I just can?t take the bad with the good anymore
I am ready anaesthetize
You can remove the fear that?s here inside my eyes
It?s a trick, believing that you?re in control
Living all of your life, never filling the hole
Every hour that passes, I can never get back
To figure it out, I?m facing the facts
Believing that you?re in control
Living all of your life, never filling the hole
Every hour that passes is one that I?ve lost
To figure it out, I?m counting the cost
Counting the cost.
