What I Can't Control
You look at me
I look at you
Our thoughts deceived
With shadows that hide the truth
Can we be
Can’t be true
If I can see
Than so can you
I am not good
I am not right
Misunderstood
Lost behind the light
If there was a way to control what’s inside of me than I would…
But there are only cold driven thoughts to tempt my fate
I keep my self tied in ropes, can’t be let go, because then I could…
The darker side of me screams, overpowers everything, and then it escapes
I look in the mirror
And my soul stares back at me
The image gets clearer
It’s the identity of the enemy
I feel trapped
Locked away
The impulse to attack
Leads my heart to betray
All I fought to protect
Is broken through my infection
It watches as they suffer with no regret
This pain was beyond my intention
