Lyrics

Control

I push my pain into my chest I swallow anger when you're there And deep down inside it hurts my pride to know The passage of time I can't control

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

And I called you every single day I slept upon your bed of nails And in compromise I was your only chance

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

Inside I'm fighting but it's not enough Dying to survive in a Life we both denied for so long

Tigercub on Dork

2000trees have added Static Dress, Tigercub and a Shrek tribute band to this year’s festival

The Cave headliners are confirmed as comedy, Word Stage and fancy dress plans revealed.

Tigercub: "This is our goth, Robert Smith make-up, heavy metal record"

Everyone’s heard of pay-what-you-want downloads, but pay-what-you-want vinyl?! Tigercub took a massive risk with their new EP, ‘Evolve Or Die’. Hey Jami...
