Open Boundaries - Control Lyrics

I try to talk about it
But every word that I say
Seems to float around it
Just float around it
Just float around it
Just float around it
And sway

Cause a strangers
Taken control of me
My autopilots astray
And
Every time I try breaking through
I just dissipate and I fade

Who are you
In my mind
Taking over the reigns of life
I've been prying in
Locked outside
Watching all my things
Twist in time

Who's the pilot
Of my own brain
Flying sideways
And lost in space
Thrashing wildly
Inside this cage
I've been fighting
With what I've made

But Im not ready to go say goodbye
Push the gas pedal
100 mile
Running red lights
To the runway
Charged up
Catching that flight
I'll be bringing that danger
To the one who's a stranger
Controlling the waypoints
And causing the failures

Cause I'm not ready to keep asking why
I'm on the backpedal
Pushing back
Giving that fight
Storm the cockpit
Grab the joystick
To my life
Say goodbye to the stranger
Who's been flying through danger
In this world I have made
Maybe I will find a way
To take control


Through my days and nights
I'm losing always
Nothings feeling right
Self talks are never honest

And every time I try
I never keep my promise
I keep on breaking
My batteries are failing

At the club
Alone
Again
Mute in the corner of every event
Mastered the art of just playing pretend
Masking when I am surrounded by friends


And then it
Hits me like a tidal wave
In all these waters
I can only see a strangers face
Just getting older
And I still don't really know my place
Maybe one day I will find a way
To take
Control


Control
Holding on
Control


I had a whole damn life
I knew just what I wanted
But every year I'd climb
And never reach the summit
I'd stare at starry skies
And wish upon the comets
But when the day ends
I'm still here feeling vacant


Then it
Hits me like a tidal wave
In all these waters
I can only see a strangers face
Just getting older
And I still don't really know my place
Maybe one day I will find a way
To take
Control

Control
Holding on
Control
I could believe in
When all the lights begin to fade
What is this feeling
Holding on
Control
What is this feeling
When all the lights begin to fade
I could believe in
Holding on
Control


Maybe one day I will find a way
To take control
Maybe one day I will find a way
To take control

Maybe one day I'll find a way
To take control


Control
Holding on
Control
I could believe in
When all the lights begin to fade
What is this feeling
Holding on
Control
What is this feeling
When all the lights begin to fade
I could believe in
Holding on
Control


You fly towards horizons
That was once so far away
Through the clouds
Atop the peaks
You
Recognise a face
In the distance
A version of you waves back
Hey you made it
It's time for you to land

The auto pilots gone
And your senses reappear
All the feelings rush at once
That you've avoided in these years
You're asking Is this real
As you look back at the plane because
You've finally took control
You're
Finally ok

Now your mind begins to rest
A calmer beating in your chest
A peace that you once knew
A peace that you repressed
Is coming back
It's so much quieter in your head

And this person you've unearthed
This you that you deserve
Knows new colours
New sounds
New faces and new worth
You're no longer detached or fear you'd fly again
Because you finally have control
Of the stranger in your place
