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 back to 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
