Control

I look at my life like it doesn’t really matter at all
I’ve applied myself but recently my efforts have stalled
You shared my apathy and reinforced this sad lack of drive
You watched me lose myself, become the very thing I despise
My false complacency
I’m fake, I’m make believe
Nothing ‘bout it seems real to me
Can’t take myself seriously
Without control, I lack control
There must be some good reason why I act the way that I do
Lack of sincerity up to this point is what’s got me through
I’ve said a thousand things I didn’t mean, in words I deplore
I’ve been so sickening sweet, I think I might just rot at the core
I’ll put it blatantly
I’m fake, I’m make believe
What you see’s not really me
It’s my attempt to be pc
I need control, I want control, I lack control, I’ll take control
I’ve become so sheltered, my thoughts are solely self consumed
So lost in my own life, can’t give a second thought to you
I’ve gone to such extents that coming back is too far to go
I’m more uniquely troubled than you’ll ever wish to know
My tolerance is waning, My patience running thin
My self-disgust is rising, I’m rotting from within
I can’t hold back these words, these things I wish to say
But rest yourself assured, I’ll unload one day
In all sincerity
I’m fake, I’m make believe
Nothing ‘bout it seems real to me
Can’t take myself seriously
Without control, I lack control, I lack control, I’ll take control
