In Control
Mastering Manipulation: Unveiling the Control Game in Pinhead Gunpowder's 'In Control'
Lyrics
You screw him over before he can screw you
You betray him before he has a chance to betray you.
Tell him you don't need him before he says he needs you
You declare independence before he expresses dependence on you.
You lead him on, stringing him along
You lead him on, giving false hope and keeping him attached.
Then put the blame on him when he asks "What went wrong?"
You shift the blame to him when he questions what went wrong.
You deal with your fears by acting like you're better
You cope with your fears by pretending to be superior.
Don't give yourself a chance to care, well you'll never
You avoid caring, preventing any chance of vulnerability.
Find out what you want 'cause you're trying so hard to be
You struggle to discover your desires while striving to appear
IN CONTROL.....
IN CONTROL...
Your air of confidence seems so appealing
Your self-assured demeanor is attractive but deceptive.
While it's just a front, a front concealing
It's a facade hiding your insecurities and incapacity.
Your insecurities, your inability
Your inability to handle others is a manifestation of your fears.
To deal with anyone
You struggle to interact effectively with anyone.
Well you're a magnet to the weaker
You attract those who are vulnerable or easily influenced.
You got a flock of true believers
You gather followers who are unaware of their leaders' secrets.
But they don't know the secrets of their leaders.....
But they are unaware of the hidden truths of their leaders...
You make yourself look smart making someone else look dumb
You make yourself appear intelligent by belittling others.
Turning words around, manipulate the conversation
You manipulate conversations by twisting words.
You don't have much else to say
You lack substantial content and resort to snide comments.
Just snide comments, that's your way of saying you're
This is your way of asserting that you are
IN CONTROL.....
IN CONTROL...
Your air of confidence seems so appealing
Your confident demeanor is a facade concealing
While it's just a front, a front concealing
Your insecurities and inability to connect.
Your insecurities, your inability
Your struggles in dealing with others.
To deal with anyone
You find it challenging to engage with anyone.
Why can't you just admit
Why can't you acknowledge
You're fucked up too and deal with it?
Your own issues and confront them?
You're making other people feel like shit!!!!
You make others feel inferior, contributing to their misery.
