Lyrics

[Intro]
I think I've put on ten years in the last two years
Control, control, control, control, control
[Verse 1]
My eyes aren't big enough
To see into the souls of all my friends, so I pretend
My arms are strong enough
To move aside the objects in my way to their dismay
Yeah, there's a world outside, just not today
[Verse 2]
And I found some purpose
Or something that felt like purpose, and then I died
The story of my life
Life, life, life
I'm stuck inside this body
And I don't think it's mine
Don't think it's yours
But it's not mine
And there's a world outside, no reason why
[PreChorus]
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
All I ever wanted was
Control, control, control, control
[Chorus]
Control, control, control, control
You know I would trade my soul for
Control, control, control, control
And all I ever wanted was
Some control, control, control, control
Till it gets old
Control, control, control, control
[Verse 3]
I'm done self-medicating
Get out of bed, go on and face the day
Or I could stay
[Verse 4]
And I am my mother's son
I'm just as highly-strung
And I get scared so easily
I guess just from proximity
There's a world outside if you believe
[PreChorus]
I want
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
Control, control, control, control
[Chorus]
I want
Control, control, control, control
You know I would trade my soul for
Control, control, control, control
And all I ever wanted was
Some control, control, control, control
Till it gets old
Control, control, control, control
[Chorus]
I want
Control, control, control, control
You know I would trade my soul for
Control, control, control, control
And all I ever wanted was
Some control, control, control, control
Till it gets old
Control, control, control, control
[Outro]
Shut up Nick Ward
