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
