Will Jay's video: Will Jay - I Need Control

Stream Perfectionist: https://fanlink.to/perfectionist As a kid, I would do a lap around the house twice every night, make sure every door was locked, and I would touch the wall in certain places as I did it. It was the only way I could fall asleep because my brain automatically went to the worst places: what if the house burns down? what if a burglar tried to come in? I’ve carried a lot of that paranoia into my adult life, constantly feeling claustrophobic and hyper-aware of how I’m being perceived. My mind longs to have control, not only of my surroundings but of myself. I would say this song, along with Lies, are the mission statements of the album: the dark side that comes with being a perfectionist. Written by: Will Jay, Sam Creighton Produced by: Keaton Stromberg Every time that I try to speak It feels so calculated If I say what I really mean It’s like you see me naked Not a word until I was 3 The doctors were elated Thank god there was nothing wrong And everything’s fine Always on the edge of my seat Never the right position Check the doors are locked, 1 2 3 flip on and off light switches Something bad could happen to me House will burn if I didn’t Make sure that the stove was off Now everything’s fine I need control I need control What will I do if I lose my mind Hurt someone else, or myself I’m terrified These crazy thoughts, they won’t stop Oh my I feel the worst in me Better tread carefully I need control Everybody please disappear I’m feeling claustrophobic Way past capacity in here Hard to be easygoing Suffocating’s my biggest fear I can’t breathe in this clothing Leave before something goes wrong Now everything fine I need control Make a mistake I go insane What can I say, I’m a perfectionist Slave to my brain Circle the drain What can I say, get me a therapist SOCIALS: Website: www.willjaymusic.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/officialwilljaymusic Instagram: https://instagram.com/willjaymusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/willjaymusic Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/willjaymusic Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/willjaymusic WATCH MORE: Popular: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtfoXDoGojDCcnPfcVPNUb9bpWWl2zBfy Original Music: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtfoXDoGojDCl4-NM_Wgk4Sz6WtlK4BuE Covers & Mashups: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtfoXDoGojDDSl15VCwuv7mEpQuT7qzvX
