Controls - Song Lyrics from the 90s

Venice Beach was an interesting place to live. I learned how to surf there even though the surf was never good enough to learn on. This song is something that I started and am still working on now. Not sure of the melody yet. Not sure if it's worthy of melody but that is yet to be determined. Dark and gloomy for sure like the early summer skies along the California coast. Venice was fun, but I never felt at home there. The boardwalk wasn't my favorite place and it still kind of makes me feel uncomfortable.

All I wanted was to make amends
Where the Red Sea parts
Is it time that bends? 
All I wanted was to settle down
When the waters came rushing in

Hard to find the controls
Where are you now? 
Crawling in a hole
Hard to find the controls

All I wanted was to play the role
But these ties that bind
Is it strength that folds?
All I wanted was to feel no pain
But the waters came rushing in 

Hard to find the controls
Where are you now? 
Crawling in a hole
Hard to find the controls

All I wanted was a place to rest
Do you remember where
I placed my head
All I wanted was to be your friend 
But the waters came rushing in 
But the waters came rushing in
