Hard rocking song with a pretty side, written to convey an emotional frustration at how my life is going, and crying out to Jesus.
Surprisingly high-quality Christian rock
Trying to establish myself in the music world, and give myself some solid ground upon which i can start a real band when i get to college. i just want my work to glorify the Lord Jesus.

Story behind the song
I'd been trying to break a bad habit, and i couldn't, and one night i was so pissed off at the devil for having such a hold of me that i stayed up all night and wrote this song
Lyrics
Who is controlling me? Who is suggesting things That shape the way that my life is leading? Shouldn’t it be me? I want to do what’s right—he screws me up inside He gets me thinking then I’m as good as gone Without a fight I’m like a broken clock—I’m ticking out of time I’m getting mad; you’d think that I could do this Why couldn’t I? The devil’s haunting me—Lord, get him off of me Create in me a clean heart and make me willing to obey The good I want to do is never what I do And all the evil I hate ends up between me and You Check out my broken heart—You see it’s made of stone Lord take it out! Give me a living new one I feel so alone I’m thinking I’m gonna scream The devil’s blocking my way It’s almost all I can take He’s everywhere I’m awake I’m crying out “Lord, Jesus, save me from this wretched fate!” Check out my broken heart—see it’s no longer mine Lord fill me up with Your Holy Spirit And fix my broken life
