Take Control, Lose it All

Quiet in the shadows I watch you work
Loud and clear, take your control
Assure the world who's right
And, of course, who is wrong

Quiet in the shadows I shake my head
Blind control! How well you've trained!
“With us or against us!”
Of course, you need the best

Quiet in the shadows, I hold my breath
Watching your army crumble
Watching them learn your ways
Watching the mask come off

I'm no different, I was them
Stand up and fight till the end
Ask no questions!
Of course, you can't be wrong!

That was then, this is now
I know how you play your games
Hiding behind a sea of kids
Scared to face the world

Of course, my dear
Who is anyone to question?
Who is anyone to doubt?
You are always right, after all

Until, however, the mask comes off
Dear, sweet, caring ripped away
Childish and weak promptly replace
How long do you think this'll last?
