Control

The cut is deep, but never deep enough for me
It doesn't hurt enough to make me forget
One moment of relief is never long enough
To keep the voices in my head from stealing my peace

Oh, control
It's time, time to let you go

Perfection has a price, but I cannot afford to live that life
It always ends the same; a fight I never win

I'm letting go of the illusion
I'm letting go of the confusion
I can't carry it another step
I close my eyes and take a breath
I'm letting go …

There were scars before my scars
Love written on the hands that hung the stars
Hope living in the blood that was spilled for me
