Control Freak
I got a kung fu grip on reality
I got anger issues and anxiety
I’m a loose cannon
I go Bruce Banner
I’m a masochistic personality, yeah
More I feel it slipping
The tighter that I grip it
The more feel it gettin’ away
I’m gonna drive myself insane
I’m a control freak
It ain’t healthy
I got a laundry list of things that bother me
I’m quite the psycho
Just watch my mind go
I try my best to chill but it’s impossible
It’s a, goddam disease
I can’t, get no relief
I’m a control freak
Control freak
I think I owe myself an apology
I made my whole damn life a catastrophe
By being way too over zealous
Maniacally jealous
I’m broken in my brain
I’m a control freak
It ain’t healthy
I got a laundry list of things that bother me
I’m quite the psycho
Just watch my mind go
I try my best to chill but it’s impossible
It’s a, goddam disease
I can’t, get no relief
I’m a control freak
Control freak
Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel it slippin
Whoa Whoa Whoa
I’m a control freak
Somebody help me
I’m a full blown menace to society
I’m quite the psycho
Just watch my mind go
I try my best to chill but it’s impossible
It’s a, goddam disease
I can’t, get no relief
I’m a control freak
Control freak
Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel it slippin
Whoa Whoa Whoa

[@catbest3718]

This song describes OCD so perfect.

[@newmedicinerock]

Amen!

[@michaelthompson4949]

There appears to be quite a bit of overlap among the OCD related maladies. For instance I have ADHD, and ADHD almost always overlaps with OCD, bipolar, Gad, depression, odd, Tourette's, learning disabilities, PTSD and sleep disorders (to different degrees of course).These are off the top of my head. As if this list isn't long enough, as of today ( like you) I'll include" con trol freak". YAY! Well, it's not like a new problem it's just that we have a name now for the cluster of specific behavioral issues we've always had.

[@Rivers008]
