Control This
Control This (12/21/2005)
This direction has led me so far from perfection
I’m venting out all my aggression
It’s how I operate and I tolerate
Cause depression left me with mental impressions
I need someone to see my lesson
Of the constant hate I can’t tolerate
So please teach me and set me free
Show me everything that I need…
Expose the ways to control this pain
And I’ll throw away all my deceit
It’s on going though it’s not there for the showing
The incisions are constantly flowing
Reminding me of the times I bleed
And it’s growing the more that I fail at controlling
Give me all the drugs for the slowing
Erasing the taste of my own disgrace
So please teach me and set me free
Show me everything that I need…
Expose the ways to control this pain
And I’ll throw away all my deceit…
The past of rage that I can not escape
Forced it down inside, I told it to wait
And I asked the pain in my own bashful way
If it could fade away for one more day
Just one more day…
Just one more day…
But now I can’t breathe!
Now I can see!
How I will always bleed
I listen to screams!
I hear them in me!
I’m down on my knees
Please take this away!
I’m going insane!
I have been led astray
Abduct all this pain!
And leave me to gain!
Make it all fade…
Make it all fade…
Make it all fade!
So please teach me and set me free
Show me everything that I need…
Expose the ways to control this pain
And I’ll throw away all my deceit
The past of rage that I can not escape
Forced it down inside and told it to wait
I ask the pain in my own bashful way
If it could fade away for one more day
Notes: This song is definitely in the styling of Staind, heavy rock. It’s about knowing the hurt is there but praying for the ability to ignore for just one more day.
