No Control

It's like watching a rose just wither away
 When beauty crumbles and decays
 It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak
 It's something that you hold, and hold to keep
 Fall to my knees, God I beg you please
 Show me just a little of mercy
 Help me! I'm doing all I can
 Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my burden
 Swear this isn't what I wanted
 God, this house is haunted
 The way that this could be, if things would remedy
 And after all of this we've been through
 I wish that we could switch shoes
 This life ain't fair for us all
 
 My ears resound, with the sound of broken dreams
 I had where you would breathe, exist eternally
 Tell them to leave
 You're coming home with me
 Remove that damn IV
 I wish my words could cure illness
 It's like running a race with no legs or
 Swimming a lap with no arms
 The door may have slammed in my face but
 The windows will heal my scars
 Swear this isn't what I wanted
 God, this house is haunted
 The way that this could be, if things would remedy
 And after all of this we've been through
 I wish that we could switch shoes
 This life ain't fair for us all
 All my walls are built, and on display
 I drown in guilt, due to dismay
 Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me
 Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs
 I gasp for air and let this go
 Swear this isn't what I wanted
 God, this house is haunted
 The way that this could be, if things would remedy
 And after all of this shit we've been through
 I wish that we could switch shoes
 Well this life ain't fair for us all
