If only I could keep it locked outside of me
If only it could cease to exist
If only I didn't have to scratch that
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
itch
If only I could swallow it
Dissolve it in my stomach
If only I could
KNOW for sure if I would or wouldn't
It is like an earwig
Creeping through my brain
I know my actions fuel it
But, oh, it drives me insane
If only I had control
If only I could see
That control is the only thing
That gives it power over me

But, oh, it drives me insane
If only I had control
If only I could see
That control is the only thing
That gives it power over me
