RISE
Control Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't remember why I try
Don't remember why I lie about what's in my life
I am done waiting for time to take it's course and fly
And bring me peace of mind

We all give up and we all give in
And we all lose matters from our hands
But we all rise up and we all defend
And we all get back what was lost again

I look for the signs at the end indicating where these roads bend
And how much time I have left




I must try to fix the broken so I can find all my friends
And I can make amends
