State Beyond - Control Lyrics

Significance can drive a man so mad to hunger
A hateful shade covers his vision
Look at the pain he's gonna cause again
As he drowns himself in anger
We get so caught up in our suffering

So dangerous
Built like a loaded gun, passed down from son to son
Never putting any true attention or raising of any kind questions
The impact or the view of a video game
The placing of a war in the way we think
Chain of events following enjoyment
Learning how to kill inside simulations

Years ignoring how we feel
But truth is we're still in fear
Bottling up any urge to act on anger
Conditioned to explode on
Cue
Shoot
Let loose
March as you've been told
Never break the mold
Follow by the book
Even if it's your blood

Why do we always come back to this?
How can we meet someplace peaceful?
We can find a better path

Look at the way you're feeling when
Emotions got you fighting
Gone too deep, reason out of reach
But that's just distance from the truth
A fear disguised, tangled in agony, not being released
Inside you
Lost in control, lead by the pain

Putting the blame on anything but our
Own motives
Wanting opportunities to be safe and armed, locked and loaded
Justified with security
You never know when you truly have to
Take charge
But never with a clue what's not safe
When it includes
Someone else
Until they hurt someone
Close to you

And finally learn
When it's too late

Look at the way you're feeling when
Emotions got you fighting
Gone too deep, reason out of reach
But that's just distance from the truth
A fear disguised, tangled in agony, not being released
Inside you
Lost in control, lead by the pain
Light refrains from being given
From being given
