Like a needle extracting the source
A promise given taken by force
Your moving finger sculpting my mind
Led to believe and follow you blind
Seeds of deceit planted under the skin
A hidden chip designed to steal from within
Breaking my will so you can play with your toy
Distorted pleasure from the hope you destroy
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
Got a fever, sweating it out
Vultures waiting in the shadows of doubt
At any moment the tables will turn
For now I run while the bridges burn
I look for shelter from the storming skies
Avoid the watchers with their roving eyes
Escape the trance that held my feet to the ground
Break away to where I'll never be found
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
All of this time in crime I played the quiet fool
For all that I am, it's been impossibly cruel
All of what's mine designed to make a better you
To make a better you
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
A promise given taken by force
Your moving finger sculpting my mind
Led to believe and follow you blind
Seeds of deceit planted under the skin
A hidden chip designed to steal from within
Breaking my will so you can play with your toy
Distorted pleasure from the hope you destroy
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
Got a fever, sweating it out
Vultures waiting in the shadows of doubt
At any moment the tables will turn
For now I run while the bridges burn
I look for shelter from the storming skies
Avoid the watchers with their roving eyes
Escape the trance that held my feet to the ground
Break away to where I'll never be found
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
All of this time in crime I played the quiet fool
For all that I am, it's been impossibly cruel
All of what's mine designed to make a better you
To make a better you
I am under control
I am under control
I feel your hands on my soul
I am under control
