[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 ignorе your presence
[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fеar, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Open up my box and pull the string
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
