No Control - Set It Off

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 little mercy

Help me, help me;

I’m doing all I can

Pretend I’m unaffected, but their pain became my burden

Swear this isn’t what I wanted

God, this house is haunted

The way that this could be, if things would remedy

And after all of this we’ve been through

I wish that we could switch shoes

This life ain’t fair for us all

My ears resound with the sound of broken dreams

I had where you would breathe exist eternally

Tell them to leave, you’re coming home with me

Remove that damn IV

I wish my words could cure illness

It’s like running a race with no legs or

Swimming a lap with no arms

The door may have slammed in my face 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 would remedy

And after all of this we’ve been through

I wish that 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 would remedy

And after all this shit we’ve been through

I wish that we could switch shoes

Well, this life ain’t fair for us all
