No Control

It's like watching a rose just wither away When beauty crumbles and decays It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak It's something that you hold, and hold to keep Fall to my knees, God I beg you please Show me just a little of mercy Help me! I'm doing all I can Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my burden Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all of this we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes This life ain't fair for us all My ears resound, with the sound of broken dreams I had where you would breathe, exist eternally Tell them to leave You're coming home with me Remove that damn IV I wish my words could cure illness It's like running a race with no legs or Swimming a lap with no arms The door may have slammed in my face but The windows will heal my scars Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all of this we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes This life ain't fair for us all All my walls are built, and on display I drown in guilt, due to dismay Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs I gasp for air and let this go Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all of this shit we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes Well this life ain't fair for us all
