Love Controlled Despair
The melody in the intro is played on a keyboard. The rhythm guitar plays this:
[Intro] x1
Play the open notes as written, but don't let them ring. Same with the fretted chords. These notes may be
very slightly palm muted, but listen to the song to get the correct tone.

(I wish) To flee and to be gone...detached from myself
(I want) To see clearly what's beyond the dreary and cold walls within my head
I exist in desire in my dark haven
I long to cleanse my soul of regrets
All I want is you to be there
and no longer feel dead inside
I'm in love controlled despair
Wish to sleep and leave all behind
(I wish) To set free and to forgive... An illusion of myself
(I want) To breathe and to truly live without the claws, the claws within my head
All I want is you to be there
and no longer feel dead inside
I'm in love controlled despair
Wish to sleep and leave all behind
I exist in desire in my dark haven
I long to cleanse my soul of regrets
All I want is you to be there
All I want is you to be there
and no longer feel dead inside
I'm in love controlled despair
Wish to sleep and leave, leave all behind
