Control - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Kevin Garrett]

Everything's alone, it's just the way I left

I can't even trace where this other life began

Driving down the same old street

Sometimes I forget to breathe

But you won't ever hear me sing this one again

Far back in my memory I hear your words

But somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

I would never let you go

The only way it'd work is if I were provoked

Ooh, you had control

Ooh, so long ago

As hard as you can try this heart of mine won't break

Go ahead and knock me down

There's so much I can take

I know that you wish me well

But darling I can never tell

It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help

Ooh, you had control

Ooh, so long ago

Ooh, you had control

Ooh, so long ago

Our pieces lingering in my head

Like rotten leaves, you're choking me with the stench

And now I see so far down this road ahead

It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said

Rain is falling here on this other side of town

I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now

Say you don't believe in me, just so I can finally leave

Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me around

Ooh, you had control

Ooh, so long ago

Ooh, you had control

Ooh, so long ago
