Story Behind The Song
This is a song about human conformity. In our society we lose ourselves trying to fit in. At one point in our lives we realize that we don't even know who we are or why we do the things we do. To live without Self Control can destroy you but to live only with Self Control can suffocate you. Breaking the mold and living without the constraint of your own self imposed limits.

Lyrics
Self Control
By D'Simone & DeSantis
Why do you do the things you do
When your time is up
And they come for you
For better or for worse
There is just one thing
Rev it to the red line
Till the fat lady sings
I want to I want to
I want to I want to
[Chorus]
Lose yourself no self control
Don't lose yourself in self control
Lose yourself no self control
Don't lose yourself know self control
How did I get into this space
Look into the mirror
Don't know my own face
My past is just a photograph
Makes no sense at all
I'm climbing up the ladder
Watching everybody fall
You turn me on and I'll turn you out
It's like a carpet ride look inside
I'm lost and found
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Just like heaven feels like heaven
From the top
Born into this world climbed out of a hole
Blessed and cursed with a restless soul
Lives I've lived now I'm on roll
I'm free falling out of control
Once upon a time you told me what to do
Thinking what's good for me is good for you
I almost bought into that lie
Now there's revolution in my eye
Got a primal scream a war cry
You can't kill me I can never die
As long as I'm living I'm gonna fight
Keep my spirit in the light
On your epitaph what will it show
Saw your whole life come and go
Saddest thing you'll ever know
Is on the last day of your life when you look back
And you've lived not one day with no
Self Control
[Chorus]
Lose yourself no self control
Don't lose yourself in self control
Lose yourself no self control
Don't lose yourself in self control
