Lyrics

Control

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They send me away to find them a fortune

A chest filled with diamonds and gold

The house was awake

With shadows and monsters

The hallways, they echoed and growled

I sat alone in bed till the morning

I'm crying, they're coming for me

And I tried to hold these secrets inside me

My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out

Please, stop, you're scaring me

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

I paced around for hours, I'm empty

I jumped at the slightest of sounds

And I couldn't stand the person inside me

I turned all the mirrors around

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out

Please, stop, you're scaring me

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

I'm well acquainted

With villains that live in my bed

They beg me to write them

So they'll never die when I'm dead

And I've grown familiar

With villains that live in my head

They beg me to write them

So I'll never die when I'm dead

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out

Please, stop, you're scaring me

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

And all the kids cried out

Please, stop, you're scaring me

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?
