Self Control

Brought a stick to a gunfight
She came out in tears
Left a dagger in my back
And then disappeared

Ooh
The world's on fire
I watch it burn
They take what's mine
But I don't learn
Ooh
And when they try to test my soul
I hold on tight to self-control

Now I'm hurtin' from the inside
A glimmer in my eye
Lost inside of the abyss
I just wanted to shine

Ooh
The world's on fire
I watch it burn
They take what's mine
But I don't learn
Ooh
And when they try to test my soul
I hold on tight to self-control

There's nothing you can do or say
You won't find me not any way
You left me
A shade of blue

Ooh
The world's on fire
I watch it burn
They take what's mine
But I don't learn
Ooh
And when they try to test my soul
I hold on tight to self-control
