Control Freak



January 1st, 2008

Everything is always in time when you start to speak
But words get pushed and crushed against your teeth
A glass lined phrase is your own specialty
It's creeping me out.

I'm not safe when you hold too tight
Especially when I twist and turn from side to side
Your breathing left me staring at the ceiling through the night
It's freaking me out
You're freaking me out.

I could run straight for the exit door
I'm sorry, I gotta get out
I have to start sneaking out.

You lose your mind when you lose control
Yet then you go, fleeing with my heart you stole
And your heart's so afraid of an attack
Because you can't give it back.
I'm not sure if you know that you've done wrong
If this has just been dragged on too long
And I'm wearing thin; burning out
You're breaking me down.

I could run straight for the exit door
I'm sorry, I gotta sneak out
I have to start getting out.

I'll go away just to get away
Give you time to justify your actions to me
12,000 feet above is where I think I'll float
But my heart's in my throat
So my words aren't coming out as clear
But it's nothing that you'd want to hear
All I've got is my pulse pounding in my ears
It's freaking me out
It's creeping me out

I could run straight for the exit door
It's true, I gotta get out
I have to start staying out.

I'm not sure you should feel so shy
You wrote it on the windows, tree, and even the sky
Even told me when I turned a blind eye
I'm keeping it out
I'm keeping you out

It's some sick test that you've put me through
Each level passed and I'm worth more to you
I wonder how good I'll turn out to be
But I am only me

You make me run like a coward to the door
but you won't let me out
You're keeping me in
You're freaking me out.

This game is overplayed and awfully rough
It's stressing; leaving me with no luck
I feel I've got 1 option and now I'm stuck
It's killing me out
You're bleeding me out

But I keep running back to you for more
I'm in love with my doubt
I can't keep you out

It's freaking me out
