Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pressure consumes me acceptance alludes me. Is this how you want me to be?
Pain and affliction from all these addictions, but all I can see is the crowd
I run from disease but destruction is easy when it's all I know
I drink myself into so pain I can harness have I lost my soul?
I've got this poison filling me
It drags me down
But oh I love the way it tastes
Cause it's straight from hell
You kill me, you kill me
With every lie that you feed
You think you've got a hold on me
But I'm in control of me
I found true love when I dove into bottles
And that's all that you had to give
In my eyes you gave me all that I needed
All that I needed to live
Another line another fight another blackout night
I live in fear of the things that I love
Banished into the darkness with wounds I am tarnished
I'm lost and I need an escape
I've got this poison filling me
It drags me down
But oh I love the way it tastes
Cause it's straight from +hell
You kill me, you kill me
With every lie that you feed
You think you've got a hold on me
But I'm in control of me
