Take Control Lyrics by Ethan O’Brien

Ethan O’Brien

2022

[Verse 1]
Growing up, I never was the perfect child
Dark hair, fair skin, but the words kept being piled
Had to realize those meant nothing, had to see the bigger picture
They're all full of lies, don't believe the different mixtures

[PreChorus 1]
Took me 14 and a half years to escape the grasp of a beast
Don't have to think anymore at least
Mh was so bad, I just wanted to break free
So used to this, so used to being cut down like a tree

[Chorus 1]
But I finally took the reigns and took control
No issue can stop me, I'm on high patrol
Won't let them take over, don't bring me down below
A world full of secrets in me, can't let them know
6 months of work, now I'm showing who I am
Don't have to fake anything, i'm doing what I can
Improved who I was, now i'm a better man
Forget the past, I'm my own number one fan
I'm finally free, I had to take control
It's finally better, had to take control
No longer let others, had to take control
No longer gets to me, had to take control

[Verse 2]
Used to listen to what others told me to say or do
Don't know what I was thinking, it made it seem like I was a fool
Didn't want to stand up but I had enough
So I fought my way to freedom, came so far, the road was really tough
Constantly under pressure, couldn't focus on myself
Couldn't focus on aiming for the highest shelf
Cause I let people manipulate life decisions
Control me, precise precision
In my brain, fueling ignition
But I didn't keep it while it lasted
Got rid of the long curse that was casted
Had to act different from the problems that were contrasted
Was I a bad guy for all the blame I took
For other people's actions that took over me when I was a rook

[PreChorus 2]
I could never be myself until right now
The true me waiting to come out, hiding underground
I'm only 15
Got some big dreams
Won't let anyone make a big lean

[Chorus 2]
And I had to finally take the reigns and take control
No issue could stop me, I'm on high patrol
Won't let them take over, don't bring me down below
A world full of secrets in me, can't let them know
6 months of work, now I'm showing who I am
Don't have to fake anything, i'm doing what I can
Improved who I was, now i'm a better man
Forget the past, I'm my own number one fan
I'm finally free, I had to take control
It's finally better, had to take control
No longer let others, had to take control
No longer gets to me, had to take control

[Interlude]

[Chorus 3]
And I finally took the reigns and took control
No issue could stop me, I'm on high patrol
Won't let them take over, don't bring me down below
A world full of secrets in me, can't let them know
6 months of work, now I'm showing who I am
Don't have to fake anything, i'm doing what I can
Improved who I was, now i'm a better man
Forget the past, I'm my own number one fan
I'm finally free, I had to take control
It's finally better, had to take control
No longer let others, had to take control
No longer gets to me, had to take control
