My control stood far, staring back at me External locus, controlled externally Tried to soak it back inside That ball of fire should've been in my eyes Told my soul to let it go The world and its chances don't define your role The future's strings can never be in our hands So we must grasp onto our own selves And try to stand And with that thought My control disappeared from in front of my sight It found its way to me, back inside

Controlled by the world
My control stood far, staring back at me External locus, controlled externally Tried to soak it back inside That ball of fire should've been in my eyes Told my soul to let it go The world and its chances don't define your role The future's strings can never be in our hands So we must grasp onto our own selves And try to stand And with that thought My control disappeared from in front of my sight It found its way to me, back inside
