Control

[Intro]
(Clean guitar with heavy reverb/delay playing a haunting version of the Chorus melody)
(Sound of a match striking)
(Bass guitar creeps in with a low, pulsing note)
(Vocals start quiet and breathy for the first few lines of Verse 1)

[Verse 1]
We were golden
We were flames
You don’t even
Say my name
You broke the vow
I snapped the chain
You stacked the deck
I left the game
[Chorus]
Lost my shine but not my soul
You took pieces
Not the whole
Thought I’d crumble
Thought I’d fold
Now I’m back
I’m back in control
[Verse 2]
All those late nights
Burned-out calls
Your half-truth stories
On my walls
Packed my fears
In one small case
Left your chaos
In its place
[Chorus]
Lost my shine but not my soul
You took pieces
Not the whole
Thought I’d crumble
Thought I’d fold
Now I’m back
I’m back in control
[Bridge]
(Guitars build intensity / heavier distortion)
I wore your blame like borrowed clothes
Hung it up—yeah, now it shows
I was the wood, you were the spark
You left me burning in the dark!
But ash is just the ground for seeds
I have everything I need
You’re a cold wind
I’m a wildfire
I’m stepping higher!
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]
(Driving, aggressive tempo)
[Chorus]
Lost my shine but not my soul
You took pieces
Not the whole
Thought I’d crumble
Thought I’d fold
Now I’m back
I’m back in control
[Outro]
(Drum-heavy, rhythmic chanting)
I’m back (In control)
I’m back (In control)
You kept the ghost
I kept the light
I’m the one
Who won the fight
(Music cuts to just a driving bass line or a feedback hum)
You kept the pieces...
But I’m the one who’s whole.
(Sudden Stop)
Control.
