Control

John Frusciante · Curtains [2005]

It's not the way I go

It's not the way I go

No one here hears me

I'm sick of people knowing me



Life's confusing me

There's so much I don't see

Something's controlling me



It's no way to live

I haven't got a thing to give

And as those signs trade off

I'm a line from loud to soft



For what I have to say

I wanted to build a stage

I wanted to feel this way

This way



All these things are real

I don't know my own feel

You will prove me wrong

I don't know one



I see now what I've got

It reveals just what it's not

Someday I'll take it away

There's nothing for me anyway



Love don't choose me

Wide don't see a thing

Wide don't see a thing

A thing



What I'm saying is now

I don't know what it's about

I wander through the dawn

So much goes on



Who will make me run

I admit I might be wrong

These letters shelter me now

I wonder how
