No limits/I am in control

No limits/I am in control:

Limits surpassed by wreckage
how far back could
one track go

Destroyed by images
of all the things you wish
you just didn’t no

Everyone has a opinion
but this is your life
are you willing to say so

Just run, run, run
as far away as you can possibly go
pretend, never to no

Hide the scares
behind black mascara
and blue eye shadow  
a teenager playing grown

You just didn’t know
how this world would turn round
now you do and it’s too late to say

~ I told you so ~

Limits pushed passed
the lines overstepped
they want you to be what you’re not
and you try, you try

But then you’re tired
of being what everyone else sees
you are nothing you think you want to be

Men jump from your hands to go home
to their wives and children
with smiles and less stress in them

Women come to you
They want to learn
how did you do that, for him

And you contemplate
the whole damn thing

Limits past  9 pm
turns to 2 am and
streets get cold and
everybody wants you
WHY!

I understand your needs and
I understand

Limits crossed and
Daddy said lead them by their balls and
I did but I am tired and
I do this and

I do and
I can and
I will then
I should but what when
I said it’s 9 pm and the limits past

I am grown
I don’t were black mascara
I don’t waste my time
I don’t waste my breath

I take it in my hand
I make my command

It’s 2 am and
he is stiff again
limits are drawn and
the past is long gone
I don’t were blue eye shadow

I look younger now
than I did all those years ago
my voice still penetrates there soul

And now I am in control
