Possession lyrics

Carrion child

Pray for me

Play your wild card

See the house come down around your head

Home to me

So much dreaming

Some say I'm growing cold and taking over

Nothing cuts two ways

Possession

Taking over

Stand these pictures on your shelf

And wear your heart upon my sleeve

Wear a dress that you can see through

See yourself inside

I'll be your imagination

Tear apart what you believe

Make a mess of your conviction

Take away my pride and leave

Nothing but the debris cuts two ways

Carrion child

Pray for me

Play your wild card

See the house come down around your...

Possession

Taking over

Possession

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Possession

Taking over

Somehow the fact takes over

And the fiction coming through

Somehow I do my crying

Breaking down for you

This way the doubt takes over

Contradiction coming through

This way I do my lying

Making up and making out for you

Possession

Taking over

Child (Nothing)

Pray for me (But the debris)

Play your wild card (Cuts two ways)

Some say I'm growing cold and taking over

Down around your head (Nothing)

Home to me (But the debris)

So much dreaming

See the house come down around your...

Possession

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Possession

Taking over

Possession

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Possession

Taking hold
