[Intro — whispered, distant, heavily reverbed] Can you hear me? Don’t look away… You let me in. Now you’re mine. [Verse 1] I feel you creeping through the static Like a voice I can’t ignore Every thought becomes automatic Every lock becomes a door You pull the strings beneath my skin I fight, but I don’t know where to begin Every time I try to run I hear you whisper, “You’re not done” [Pre-Chorus — building tension] Round and round, I’m losing ground Your voice is the only sound I close my eyes, you’re still inside Tell me who’s controlling who tonight? [Chorus — massive bass drop] MIND CONTROL You got me under your spell MIND CONTROL Dragging me straight into hell I try to break free But you’re living inside of me MIND CONTROL You own every thought in my head [Post-Chorus — chopped/echoed vocals] In my head… In my head… You got me— You got me— Mind… mind… mind control. [Verse 2 — darker, more aggressive] Blackout, heartbeat, signal fading Your reflection’s masquerading I see your face when I shut my eyes You’re the voice behind every lie I cut the wire, but it grows again Every beginning becomes the end I swear I’m waking up tonight Then your voice comes back to life [Pre-Chorus — rising] Round and round, I’m losing ground Your voice is the only sound I close my eyes, you’re still inside Tell me who’s controlling who tonight? [Chorus — heavier] MIND CONTROL You got me under your spell MIND CONTROL Dragging me straight into hell I try to break free But you’re living inside of me MIND CONTROL You own every thought in my head [Bridge — nearly silent, whispered] Maybe I’m not trapped… Maybe I let you in. Maybe every thought I thought was mine Was yours from the beginning. [Build — distorted whispers] Wake up… Wake up… Wake up… Too late. [FINAL DROP — massive] MIND CONTROL You got me under your spell MIND CONTROL Dragging me straight into hell I tried to break free But you became a part of me MIND CONTROL Now I don’t know who I am MIND CONTROL Inside my blood Inside my bones Inside my head You made a home MIND CONTROL I hear you calling… And I answer. [Outro — fading whisper] Who’s controlling who… Who’s controlling who… Who’s controlling who… Mind… Control.
