[Intro: Sam Bowman]

Where do I go from here?

What do I call this feeling?

Help me to find its meaning


[Pre-Chorus: Sam Bowman]

It starts as a knot in my chest

I can't sleep, I can't rest

I just need to escape it

I need to get angry

To make it obey me

I don't want to lose control

Now I'm arguing louder and louder

To no one exactly

To gather momentum

To gather the strength

That'll help me to make it

I don't want to lose control


[Chorus: Sam Bowman]

But when push comes to shove, I'm frozen in place

And I look at a world that's floating in space

And I look at Your love, a cosmic embrace

I'm amazed


[Verse 1: Sam Bowman]

If I swung back and forth inside of my brain

Just to muster the force that could force away the pain

That could force it all to make sense

If I only could, you know I would

Does the raging of man earn the goodness of God?

Can I make the demand You improve on Your promise?

I hate that my answer is usually yes, I'll confess


[Pre-Chorus: Sam Bowman]

But I'll start tying knots in my chest

I can't sleep, I can't rest

I just need to convince you

Whoever is listening

My insights are better

I don't want to lose control

Now I'm falling faster

Around of the edge of the planet

To gather momentum

To gather the strength

That'll help me to make it

I don't want to lose control


[Chorus: Niyah Marie]

But when push comes to shove, I'm frozen in place

And I look at a world that's floating in space

And I look at Your love, a cosmic embrace

I'm amazed


[Verse 2: Niyah Marie]

Do I trust You're enough to comfort my soul?

To adjust to the rush of losing control

When I'm under the sun and over-emotional


[Bridge: Sam Bowman & Niyah Marie]

Inhale, exhale slow

I'm not in control

Peace be still my soul

Peace be still my soul

Inhale, exhale slow

I'm not in control

Lay the cosmos down

Inhale, exhale slow

I'm not in control

Peace be still my soul

Peace be still my soul

Inhale, exhale slow

I'm not in control

Lay the cosmos down

Lay the cosmos down
