Control - Puissance

Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream

Cause she’s liable to grow up mean

Surprised you to find that I’m laughing

You thought that you’d find me in tears

You thought I’d be crawling the walls

Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well, you may be king for the moment

But I am a queen, understand?

And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops

And castles all inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way

While you had your eyes closed

While you were licking your lips

'Cause I was miserable

While you were selling your soul

While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control (I have control)

Now I have taken control (I have control)

Now I have taken control, control

This is beginning to feel good

Watching you squirm in your shoes

A small bead of sweat on your brow and a growl

In your belly you’re scared to let through

You thought you could keep me from loving

You thought you could feed on my soul

But while you were busy destroying my life

What was half in me has become whole

While you were looking the other way

While you had your eyes closed

While you were lickin your lips

'Cause I was miserable

While you were selling your soul

While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control (I have control)

Now I have taken control (I have control)

Now I have taken control, control

So this is how it feels

To breathe in the summer air

To feel the sand between my toes

And love inside my ear

All those things

That you taught me to fear

I’ve got them in my garden now

And you’re not welcome here

Come here

Come a little bit closer

Let me look at you

I gave you the benefit

Of the doubt, it’s true

But keep in mind, my darling

Not every saint is a fool

While you were looking the other way (you messed)

While you had your eyes closed (with me)

While you were licking your lips

'Cause I was miserable

While you were selling your soul (you messed)

While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control

I was taking control

Now I have taken control, control, control

Don’t you mess with me

Father:

This cannot be all that there is to life

Because in our confrontation

With an enormous and cold universe

There’s something comical

To the idea that we can really enforce our will on humanity

Power corrupts

It’s your world, do with it what you want

No, that’s not the way to do it

Power

That’s not the way to do it

Paradox

No, it’s your world, no, it’s your world

No, it’s your world, no

It’s your world

Child:

It’s scaring me

Father:

At the end of it all lies, of course

The final phenomenon of deterioration, entropy

Which is a predictable deterioration

When the creative energy ceases
