Lyrics Control - Puissance

Control

Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream
Cause she’s liable to grow up mean
Surprised you to find that I’m laughing
You thought that you’d find me in tears
You thought I’d be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
Well, you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen, understand?
And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops
And castles all inside the palm of my hand
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control (I have control)
Now I have taken control (I have control)
Now I have taken control, control
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow and a growl
In your belly you’re scared to let through
You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were lickin your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control (I have control)
Now I have taken control (I have control)
Now I have taken control, control
So this is how it feels
To breathe in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things
That you taught me to fear
I’ve got them in my garden now
And you’re not welcome here
Come here
Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt, it’s true
But keep in mind, my darling
Not every saint is a fool
While you were looking the other way (you messed)
While you had your eyes closed (with me)
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul (you messed)
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
I was taking control
Now I have taken control, control, control
Don’t you mess with me
Father:
This cannot be all that there is to life
Because in our confrontation
With an enormous and cold universe
There’s something comical
To the idea that we can really enforce our will on humanity
Power corrupts
It’s your world, do with it what you want
No, that’s not the way to do it
Power
That’s not the way to do it
Paradox
No, it’s your world, no, it’s your world
No, it’s your world, no
It’s your world
Child:
It’s scaring me
Father:
At the end of it all lies, of course
The final phenomenon of deterioration, entropy
Which is a predictable deterioration
When the creative energy ceases
