Shattered Control

Hands tied tight to expectations
Every move pre-calculated
Living like a simulation
Scripted, rehearsed, sedated
Counting every breath I take
Like freedom is a mistake

Cut the wire
Break the hold
I won't do what I'm told

Shattered control, I'm losing grip
(Falling apart)
Every promise starts to slip
(Tear it apart)
If I'm breaking, let me fall
Better shattered than controlled at all

Let it fall
Let it burn
No more waiting for my turn

Perfect lines
Perfect lies
Perfect cage
Perfect disguise
Built to please
But not survive

Push me down
Pull me tight
I was never built to fight like this

Shattered control, I'm losing grip
(Falling apart)
Every promise starts to slip
(Tear it apart)
If I'm breaking, let me fall
Better shattered than controlled at all

I'm done being your machine
I'm done being your design
You don't own what's mine

Shattered control, I'm done obeying
(No more chains)
Every fracture now displaying
(No more shame)
If collapse is what I choose
I'd rather break than play and lose
Better shattered than controlled by you

Control
Is dead
