Open up my box and pull the string

Am I just a musical machine for ransom?

I will only listen if you scream

Lose your voice for me and I will sing your anthem

Living in fear, living afraid

Hysterical every day

All because I let your poison paralyze me

So tell me, who's in control

I'm confused, I don't know

Tell me, who's in control, now

So tell me, who's in control

Is it you? I don't know

Tell me who's in control, now

My life is yours to hold

So tell me who's in control

But this wasn't what I signed up for

Spending more stress than I can afford

And then some

Killing me with almost no remorse

Feeling better when I just ignore your presence

Living in fear, living afraid

Hysterical every day

All because I let your poison paralyze me

So tell me, who's in control?

I'm confused, I don't know

Tell me, who's in control, now?

So tell me, who's in control?

Is it you? I don't know

Tell me, who's in control, now?

My life is yours to hold

Open up my box and pull the string

Am I just a musical machine for ransom?

Living in fear, living afraid

Hysterical every day

All because I let your poison paralyze me

So tell me, who's in control?

I'm confused, I don't know

Tell me, who's in control, now?

So tell me, who's in control?

Is it you? I don't know

Tell me, who's in control, now?

My life is yours to hold

Tell me, so tell me, who's in control, now?

My life is yours to hold

So tell me who's in control, now?

My life is yours to hold
