Control Me

Got a message on the side of a box

On the corner at the end of the block

Helps to keep all the labels on

Sleep with one eye, limp when I walk

Hammurabi sent it straight from the top

I can translate Cuneiform

How does it feel to console me?

You never really could control me

I never really would comply

Write in the mail you’re postponing

You know I really can’t condone it

Send it to the next guy

Say it louder now you’re clearing my throat

Roll me over off the back of your boat

Now you found out your keys are gone

Going lower til your sinking in place

Breathing water but it’s better to taste

I can tread til your drowning’s done

Hit the streets when we flip the lights

Replacements lay just out of sight

Just you wait til the place ignites

Lit up like a day in July

I’m gon do what I feel is right

My face says I’m gon do it tonight

How does it feel to patrol me?

Even after what you told me

You never let me ask you why

Better decide if you know me

My letters piled up in your laundry

I’ve never even seen you cry

Returning the world that you loaned me

You better find something to hold it

Save it for the next time

I can’t pretend that I’ve known it

Just really want someone to own me

An ordinary average guy
