Taking Control Lyrics by Dead Astronauts

Constellations

2014

[Verse 1, Hayley]
You want, it, all
And now, you will fall
You want, it, all
And now, you will fall


[Verse 2, Jared]
My son
What have you done
Your ego has taken control
And your pride won't let it go
My son
What have you done
Where violence won't soothe your soul
This silence won't release its hold, no


[Chorus, Hayley]
You want it all, but life can't give you that
You want it all, but i'll just take it back
You don't have the strength, to stand on both of your feet
You want it all, but you can't let it be


[Verse 3, Jared]
My son
What have you done
You've done regrettable things, it's true
My son
What have you become
You're my blood, through and through
When life's taken control, it's taken hold
It's taking its toll on you
When life taken control, it's taken hold
It's taking its toll on you

My son
What will you do


[Chorus, Hayley & Jared]
You want it all, but life can't give you that
You want it all, but i'll just take it back
You don't have the strength, to stand on both of your feet
You want it all, but you can't let it be

You want it all, but life can't give you that
You want it all, but i'll just take it back
You don't have the strength, to stand on both of your feet
You want it all, but you can't let it be
