Control Lyrics by Alexisonfire

Watch Out!

2004

[Chorus]
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you

[Post-Chorus]
It is present (Present)

[Verse 1]
Say that you're in control, say that you are
I can't think of a time when you looked less alive
You said "Wait until light, my dear, just wait until light"
One more day will go by, maybe today you should try
To look past the mirror and find, to look past the mirror
That there's something inside, something more to your life
But my words won't heal you now, my words won't heal
It is you who decides, it is you who decides

[Chorus]
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you

[Verse 2]
Believe that you are just fine, believe that you are
You'll feel so alive, you'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (Be what you are) Be what you are
Do not keep it inside, the hate will not subside
Be what you are now (Be what you are) Be what you are
Do not keep it inside, that hate will not subside

[Post-Chorus]
It's you
Decide
It's you
Decide

[Bridge]
So alive, so alive

[Outro]
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, oh, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one, not a heavy one
