In Control

I've heard the stories
I saw the news
I've heard the fables
The fiction in my ears
We are the nothings
We are the naughts
We are the guilty
In need of control

It's creeping up to my home now
Tracking where I roam
I'm the crazy one here
Being on my own
But not alone

I've seen enough now
It's coming clear
I've seen the numbers
We're drenched in fear
It's all gone viral
In this rotten year
I've seen enough now
Our end is near

It's hitting home at present
They wear us down
Dash my hopes forever
All is disallowed
Disallowed

I'm not the bad guy
They rigged the game
Anger and denial
Is what they claim
It's for what they aim

I'm holding up my head now
Knowing where to go
It all gets denied
Knowing what they know

I'm holding up my breath now
In the danger zones
When do we turn the tables?
And take back control
Take control
