Control

They send him away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The husband’s away,
The shadows and monsters
They always echoed and glowed

And I sat alone, in bed till the morning
And 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 villains 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 head
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?

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?
