I scan my smile before I speak Refine the angle, smooth the cheek I load the voice I’ve trained to use But still it trembles, tight and bruised A thousand filters in my mind Redesign what’s undefined I'm picture-perfect, pixel-clean But something flickers in between But I can’t stop the sudden laugh Or freeze the crack inside the craft The rhythm’s shifting, skipping cues A sudden truth breaks all the rules I'm in control, but I lost control My soul is dancing past the mold I tried to shape it, tried to frame it But now it slips through what I hold I tighten up with every breath Yet something breaks beneath the goal I'm in control, but I lost control I call it free control I trace the steps I always take Polish every move I fake But underneath the stage I show There’s something louder down below They see the version I curate But I can feel it start to break And when the bassline hits my chest I lose the need to play impressed But I can’t stop the sudden laugh Or freeze the crack inside the craft The rhythm’s shifting, skipping cues A sudden truth breaks all the rules I'm in control, but I lost control My soul is dancing past the mold I tried to shape it, tried to frame it But now it slips through what I hold I tighten up with every breath Yet something breaks beneath the goal I'm in control, but I lost control I call it free control You saw the fire I tried to kill You kissed the glitch I couldn’t heal You stayed when silence turned to heat And let my rhythm skip a beat I'm in control, but I lost control My soul is dancing past the mold I tried to shape it, tried to frame it But now it slips through what I hold I tighten up with every breath Yet something breaks beneath the goal I'm in control, but I lost control I call it free control Free control Free control Free Control
