No Control

It's like watching a rose just wither away

When beauty crumbles and decays

It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak

It's something that you hold, and hold to keep

Fall to my knees, God I beg you please

Show me just a inch of mercy

Help me, help me, I'm doing all I can

Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my

present

Swear this isn't what I wanted

God, this house is haunted

The way that this could be, if things were a melody

And after all of this we've been through

I wish we could switch shoes

This life ain't fair for us all

My ears re-sound, with the sound of broken dreams

A hat where you would breathe, exist internally

Tell them to leave

You're coming home with me (right now)

Remove that damn ID

I wish my words could cure illness

It's like running a race with no legs or

Swimming a lap with no arms

I don't need a tip in my fist but

The windows will heal my scars!

Swear this isn't what I wanted

God, this house is haunted

The way that this could be, if things were a melody

And after all of this we've been through

I wish we could switch shoes

This life ain't fair for us all

My walls are built, and on display

I drown in guilt, due to dismay

Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me

Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs

I gasp for air and let this go

Swear this isn't what I wanted

God, this house is haunted

The way that this could be, if things were a melody

And after all this shit we've been through

I wish we could switch shoes

Well this life ain't fair for us all
