Control Lyrics by Ian Be

xxi [deluxe]

2024

[Intro]
I need con-con-control
I need, need, need, need, need
I need con-, need, -trol, con
I need control

[Verse One]
If I'm out of power, I'll get anxious
If I'm not in charge of this, then who is?
If the walls of my life are closing in
How do you expect me to live?

[Chorus]
Control is the most addictive drug in the world
Haven't mastered the art of not giving it up
Fill my lungs with air, but they're starting to hurt
I need control, don't ever wanna give it up

[Post-Chorus]
I need con-con-control
I need, need, need, need, need
I need con-, need, -trol, con
I need control

[Verse Two]
There's a peace that comes with letting go
Unclench my white-knuckled fist, oh-oh
I've been grabbing tight for too long, so
Only thing I know, is that I don't

[Chorus]
Control is the most addictive drug in the world
Haven't mastered the art of not giving it up
Fill my lungs with air, but they're starting to hurt
I need control, don't еver wanna give it up

[Bridge]
You take it from mе, but now I've got it back (I've got it back)
Feel like I can finally breathe (Feel like I can finally breathe)
Feel like I am finally free (I'm finally free)
I've got it back
You take it from me, but now I've got it back
Feel like I can finally breathe (Finally free, finally free)
Feel like I can finally breathe (Yeah, Feel like I am finally free)

[Chorus]
Control is the most addictive drug in the world
Haven't mastered the art of not giving it up
Fill my lungs with air, but they're starting to hurt
I need control, don't ever wanna give it up

[Chorus]
Control is the most addictive drug in the world (drug in the world)
Haven't mastered the art of not giving it up (Giving a fuck)
Fill my lungs with air, but they're starting to hurt
I need control, don't ever wanna give it up

[Outro]
I need con-con-control
I need con-con-control
I
