UNDER CONTROL
Listen Here Lyrics____________________________
The hole's getting smaller, soon I won't fit through at all
Shadows grow taller like they do every fall
They say time is running, gonna run out one day
Well, hey, let me get the door and send him on his way
The shorter the days the fewer the rules
There's nobody here I care to fool
I won't waste your time, I won't play that role
Acting like everything's under control
I've got my heroes, I've got my dreams
I've got my old clothes and I'm busting out the seams
My plans are half-baked, I've done some raw dealing
Most things I do I fake cuz I am the real thing
My life is loosely based on a rough sketch that's been partly erased
And my tracks are easy to trace
signs of panic and wreckage all over the place
The shorter the days the fewer the rules
There's nobody here I care to fool
I won't waste your time, I won't play that role
Acting like everything's under control
For no other reason than we're alive and we're alone here tonight
Show me the man behind the lines
We've got fragile egos and reputations at stake
You show me yours, I'll show you mine
