Lyrics

Where is my control?
Swear he won't let go
But if I don't take the role
You can feed me to the crows
Wasted potential
Like a severed soul (I've been neglected before)
Can't see the unknown
But if I don't take the role (destined since I was born)
I'll be fine, always alone (lying, on my corpse)
Wasted potential
Look in the mirror, I no longer see myself
I know something is different, but it's hard as fuck to tell
I've been stuck in my own bubble, mood is switching when they yell
I can't focus on the present, only on the cards I dealt
He never left my head, lasting impact 'til I'm dead
I'm going off the rails and it hasn't been making any sense (I can't deny)
We're quite the blunderbuss, and taming fire's dangerous
It won't go out, it won't go out (I crossed the line)
Where is my control?
Swear he won't let go
But if I don't take the role
You can feed me to the crows
Wasted potential
Like a severed soul
Can't see the unknown
But if I don't take the role
I'll be fine, always at home
Wasted potential
Self-sabotage a constant, I've been dodging
Every conversation like my life's on auction
Don't proceed with caution, so I suffer
Holding all the pain, but I cover it up
Trust is a lost cause, not what I want
One foot in the grave, I'm a lost cause
And a big jigsaw, never figured out
He never left my head, lasting impact 'til I'm dead
I'm going off the rails and it hasn't been making any sense (I can't deny)
We're quite the blunderbuss, and taming fire's dangerous
It won't go out, won't go out (I crossed a line)
Where is my control?
Swear he won't let go
But if I don't take the role
You can feed me to the crows (I crossed the line)
Wasted potential
Like a severed soul
Can't see the unknown
But if I don't take the role
I'll be fine, always alone (I crossed the line)
Wasted potential
I've been stacking my problems like trophies
Got the earth on my back, it ain't showing
But I've felt like a fiend while they control me
There ain't a single soul that can show me escape
Slave to your strings
I've lost everything
All I've got is myself and I
