i cast myself abandoned

(The Horrors - I can't control myself)

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

i can't control myself
lend one of your hands because i
i can't control myself

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

i can't control myself
lend one of your hands because i
i can't control myself
or hold myself in though i try
i can't control myself
deliver me from the fire because i
i can't control myself
