lyrics

"No Self-Control"

Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees

No self-control

You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop

about

Charles Otis Gainesville, Florida

I'm a 60 year old musician, singer and songwriter residing in Gainesville, Florida. I've been at song crafting a very long time. I'm passionate about it. I think that memorable musical pieces can be like a short audio / film or story. I love mixing technology with traditional rock and exotic ethnic instrumentation. You'll find a little bit of everything in what I do.
