Try to Control Yourself
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2018 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP
4-18-18

You’ve been up, all night
with your head, not quite right
as the loops, repeat
and your thoughts compete
—in your mind

There’s a myth, that they sell
but it fits very well
that this life is on you
and your fate is too
if you control yourself

There’s nobody else
There’s nobody else
I told you
I told you
and nobody who
knows this better than you
by now

What you seek you may find
in the lurch, flying blind
What you give, you receive
it’s all a mirror you believe
that’s what you told yourself

It’s you who makes the magic in your mind
they say you never know what you might find

So you know it’s true
that there’s things you can’t do
but you try, and you test
and you do your best
to try to know yourself

about

Michael Silverstone Northampton, Massachusetts

Born, in Ohio in the 20th Century. Live in Massachusetts in the 21st. I am a myth made of charged points of energy mostly in empty space, but I do love to write, sing, and record songs.
