Control Freak (J. Leonhart 6/2oo7)
© FB Odini Songs (ASCAP)

Toward one thing, means away from something else
Vital, violent shifts, they take me from myself
For a moment…

Continuously upsetting my equilibrium
When did I stop being so blind and deaf and dumb?
Cause I notice more.

It’s not that I don’t want to have it’s just that I don’t want to want.
The more I want the more I feed the need to cede --
To turn it all off…

I am a control freak
I want everything to be neat
& put it all in little boxes
I never will enjoy surprises

I just want control
I just want control

Maybe I can find a better way to calm my mind
Invent a new way of thinking
That would do me good

What’s wrong may not be right
But I can’t get my little light
To shine with any conviction
After all time

It’s not that I don’t want to have it’s just that I don’t want to want.
But I can’t concede to wear my heart upon my sleeve
What does that mean?

I am a control freak
I want everything to be neat
& put it all in little boxes
I never will enjoy surprises

I just want control
I just want control
