Control

You steal the pain from my fevered brow temporarily

as I wash you down with the magic in my glass

then rock my world into hell and back with a newfound pain

when I awake and cannot find my ***

 

Still, I seek you constantly to numb me from my pain

to make me not feel this world I live in

then turn my world upside down in ruin and devastation

when I awake and feel the pain again

 

I love you and I hate you for what you do to me

this misery and ecstasy I have found

yet still I will not forsake you no matter what you do

I’ll still smile and wash you right back down

 

You have taken me to places, I said I would never roam

grinning as you watched me sell my soul

still I will not forsake you as I love you and I hate you

come on in, I will let you take control
