Ashley River - Control Loves Chaos Lyrics

Control loves chaos
Like moth to a flame
Rope to tether
Soul to blame

And chaos begs for control
On hands and knees asking to be fixed
And healed and contained and boxed
To feel anything but itself

Because it's too much to hold
This polarity of the ages
Too much to feel
Too much uncertainty and confusion
Too much illusion

Too much insecurity and fear
Losing the ground they were born from
Dissolving anywhere, everywhere, and to anything
But themselves

Control, though neatly tight and fixed
And could use some ruffling
Carries the tools and spells for chaos' containment
A spine for it's cyclone to still

But control holds tightly to chaos' mystery
Ordering, ordering
Choosing might and will
Anchoring anchoring
A fight to hold

But in truth
Nothing can contain chaos
But chaos itself

If I have any advice for chaos
It would be to find your center and root there

And if I have any advice for control
It is to know you can let go and be safe
In the infinite nature of chaos' embrace

And in this union of opposites
A ladder is built to the stars
For the lost to climb out of confusion
And into divine love in which they are
