lyrics

Our world’s a butcher’s blade, sharpened on a slate. You’ve got to grow a hide. It’s do or die. Skin too thick to break. But I can hardly stand it. It’s a struggle that I can’t shake.

But the blood and sweat, it frees me. The pain alleviates. Set a course and make it happen. Take off your harness, cut the rope, set a goal, and run it rampant. In the era of struggle, man, you’ve got to fight to take the cake.

Keep control. Always keep control. In a whirlwind, whiplash city you’ve got to keep control, never lose control. Because the hardships take their toll. Keep control. Always keep control. Your life is at your doorstep. Keep control. Never lose control. So open it up and take a fucking stroll.

Our culture’s a Spartan’s shield. You just can’t break so learn to embrace. A kamikaze mission to survive. They can set a path, but it’s up to you to determine your destiny. The passion, pride, ambition will free me. The pain alleviates.

Keep control. Always keep control. In a whirlwind, whiplash city you’ve got to keep control, never lose control. Because the hardships take their toll. Keep control. Always keep control. Your life is at your doorstep. Keep control. Never lose control. So open it up and grab ahold.

When you’re feeling hung-up, beaten, trampled, completely dismantled. On a raging manhunt for an escape into comfort and ease.

Keep control. Always keep control. Your life is at your doorstep. Keep control. Never lose control. So open it up. Don’t keep it fucking closed, no.
