I Need Control

Every time that I try to speak
It feels so calculated

IfI say what I really mean

It's like you see me naked

Not a word until I was three
The doctors were elated

Thank God there was nothing wrongAnd everything's fine
Always on the edge of my seat

Never the right position

Check the doors are locked one two threeFlip on and off the switches

Something bad could happen to meHouse will burn if I didn't
Make sure that the stove was offNow everything's fine

I need control
I need control

What willI do
IfI lose

My mind
Hurt someone else

Or myself

I'm terrified

These crazy thoughts
They won't stop

Oh my
I feel the worst in me

Better tread carefully

I need control
Everybody please disappear

I'm feeling claustrophobic
Way past capacity in here
Hard to be easy-going
Suffocating's my biggest fear

I can't breathe in this clothing
Leave before something goes wrongAnd everything's fine

I need control oh oh oh ooh
I need control oh oh oh ooh
What willI do
IfI lose

My mind

Put someone else

On myself

I'm terrified

These crazy thoughts
They won't stop
Oh my

I feel the worst in me

Better tread carefully
What willI do

IfI lose

My mind
Put someone else

On myself
I'm terrified

These crazy thoughts

They won't stop

Oh my
I feel the worst in me
Better tread carefully
I need control
Make a mistake
I'll go insane
What can I say

I'm a perfectionist
Slave to my brain
Circle the drain
What can I say

Get me a therapist

IneedIneedIneedIneed
Get me a therapist

Get me a therapist
IneedIneedIneedIneed

IneedIneedIneedIneed

IneedIneedIneedIneed

I need I need I need control

IneedIneedIneedIneed
IneedIneedIneedIneed

IneedIneedIneedIneed
I need I need I need control
