Self-Control
Twice The Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is mocking your eyes
Patience, too much patience is building inside
Is building inside
Until your nervous system shuts off a live mannequin in display for your loss of a moment in time; you should take advantage and have the upper hand show off your multiple malice.
Self-control...Self-control...Self-control
HEY MOVE YOUR LOUSY LAZY ASS!
How much time can you take on a stupid mistake that should be in your past?
HEY MOVE YOUR LOUSY LAZY ASS!
How much time can you take on a stupid mistake that should be in your grasp?
Why don't use your chance, why don't you take your chance, why don't you use your chance RIGHT NOW...RIGHT NOW...RIGHT NOW!
Tragic, isn't it tragic you don't want to move
You don't want to move
Passive, your just too passive you don't think its true
You don't think its true
Until your nervous system shuts off a live mannequin in display for your loss of a moment in time; you should take advantage and have the upper hand show off your multiple malice.
Too comfortable to move a muscle your dull; still colored in black and white you need a speech motivational for you or for...
Self-control...Self-control...Self-control
HEY MOVE YOUR LOUSY LAZY ASS!
How much time can you take on a stupid mistake that should be in your past?
