Lyrics

I Can't Control Myself

[Verse 1]

Across the pathless sands

Through jungle, blind I run

No guide taken in hand

And no idea where to turn

No sanctuary found

I tear myself in two

I pray for scarlet fields to save me

Whole and white and pure

[Chorus]

I can't control myself

Lend one of your hands 'cause I

I can't control myself

[Verse 2]

I dream of lost desires

Fingers run through fur

I drive myself insane

The rain cascades onto the dirt

And in the throes of love

Where the shadows burst in flames

I cast myself abandoned

With a cry i call your name

I can't control myself

I try and I try but I

I can't control myself

[Chorus]

I can't control myself

Lend one of your hands 'cause I

I can't control myself

Or hold myself in though I try

[Outro]

I can't control myself

Deliver me from the fire

I can't control myself
