  1. They send me away to find them a fortune

  2. A chest filled with diamonds and gold

  3. The house was awake

  4. With shadows and monsters

  5. The hallways, they echoed and groaned

  6. I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning

  7. And crying, "They're coming for me"

  8. And I tried to hold these secrets inside me

  9. My mind's like a deadly disease

  10. I'm bigger than my body

  11. I'm colder than this home

  12. I'm meaner than my demons

  13. I'm bigger than these bones

  14. And all the kids cried out

  15. "Please, stop, you're scaring me"

  16. I can't help this awful energy

  17. Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

  18. Who is in control?

  19. I paced around for hours on empty

  20. I jumped at the slightest of sounds

  21. And I couldn't stand the person inside me

  22. I turned all the mirrors around

  23. I'm bigger than my body

  24. I'm colder than this home

  25. I'm meaner than my demons

  26. I'm bigger than these bones

  27. And all the kids cried out

  28. "Please, stop, you're scaring me"

  29. I can't help this awful energy

  30. Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

  31. Who is in control?

  32. I'm well acquainted

  33. With villains that live in my bed

  34. They beg me to write them

  35. So they'll never die when I'm dead

  36. And I've grown familiar

  37. With villains that live in my head

  38. They beg me to write them

  39. So I'll never die when I'm dead

  40. I'm bigger than my body

  41. I'm colder than this home

  42. I'm meaner than my demons

  43. I'm bigger than these bones

  44. And all the kids cried out

  45. "Please, stop, you're scaring me"

  46. I can't help this awful energy

  47. Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

  48. Who is in control?

  49. And all the kids cried out

  50. "Please, stop, you're scaring me"

  51. I can't help this awful energy

  52. Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

  53. Who is in control?

Control

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 groaned

I sat alone, in bed 'til 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 on 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?
