John Stuart - Take Control Lyrics

There is a movie screen behind my eyes
And far too much of my time has been spent watching frames go by
Now I wonder how so much of our past-selves can abide
Through all the phases of the moon and shifting tides, I'm still a child

I've never been one to know what it is I want
But now I'm afraid that I might lose the life I got
So I am trying to take control

Last night I ground my teeth in my sleep
I awoke to the sun, he was laughing at me
I was rudely interrupted in the middle of dream
Though incomplete, I'm still trying to find out what it means

I'll push the light from my eyes
And fight to sit upright

I've never been one to know what it is I want
But now I'm afraid that I might lose the life I got
So I am trying to take control

In that dream I found myself among a crowd
And I looked on as they all lowered my body in the ground
I was moved by all the faces in that patchwork tapestry
Of every thread in my life stitched and woven so neatly

I've never been one to know what it is I want
But now I'm afraid that I might lose the life I got
So I am trying to take control

I've never been one to know what it is I want
But now I'm afraid that I might lose the life I got
So I am trying to take control
