Samsara Song #2: "When I Lose Control"

Samsara Song #2: "When I Lose Control"

I close myself to sleep.

I am so afraid.

For you it comes so easy.

It's how you were made.

 

I am not like that.

I've never been at all.

I have left myself,

Staring at your wall.

 

Your wall,

And I stare at your wall.

 

And then the morning comes

Like another time,

And I race in my head

To try to keep up with you.

 

But you're no longer there,

Going where you go,

And I'm left crying

On my own.

 

Hold me until I sleep.

Hold me until I don't weep.

My tears are gone when you 

Turn yourself toward me,

Straighten your knees,

And hold me.

 

Hold me until I sleep,

Until my dreams take me

Where I want to be.

And that's where I go

When I lose control.

 

When I lose control,

It's you.

 

It's you again.

You're leading me there.

Take the pressure off.

Hold my hand

Through the night.
