[Emergency broadcast ambience] [Low industrial pulse] [Slow crushing guitar chugs] Remain calm... Everything is under control... [Verse 1] [Heavy rhythmic riff] [Low screams] Grey haze over fractured streets Another headline feeds the machine Everybody glued to the glow While the walls collapse beneath their feet Fear sold in perfect waves Every mouth repeats the same Keep us blind Keep us tired Keep us begging for sedation Cold eyes in apartment light Nobody sleeps through the night [Pre-Chorus] [Melodic tension build] [Clean vocals] They turn our panic into gold Shape the narrative we’re told Everybody watching everybody now Tell me who’s in control [Huge Cinematic Chorus] [Massive melodic hook] [Atmospheric synths] CONTROL Keep your hands around my throat CONTROL Tell me what I’m dying for Black smoke hanging over empty homes Everybody drowning all alone Pressure in my blood Pressure in my soul Who the hell is really in control? [Verse 2] [Industrial percussion] [Alternating screams and cleans] Truth buried beneath the noise Anger turned into a weaponized voice Another generation overstimulated Trying not to lose consciousness Neighbours turned to enemies Pulled apart deliberately Keep us weak Keep us sick While they profit from the damage Every day feels counterfeit Like the world’s about to split [Pre-Breakdown] [Building tension] [Layered whispers] Obey... Consume... Repeat... Decay... [Breakdown] [Violent downtempo] [Crushing chugs] [Raw screams] YOU BUILT THIS FEAR TO KEEP US STILL A SYSTEM FEEDING OFF THE ILL WE TRADE OUR LIVES FOR FALSE DISTRACTIONS WHILE EVERYTHING DIES IN STAGES CONTROL! CONTROL! [Ambient Bridge] [Soft piano] [Emotional cleans] Maybe we forgot ourselves Trying just to survive Ghosts beneath fluorescent halos Waiting for a sign of life [Final Chorus] [Bigger cinematic chorus] [Double layered vocals] CONTROL Keep your hands around my throat CONTROL Tell me what I’m dying for Black smoke hanging over empty homes Everybody drowning all alone Pressure in my blood Pressure in my soul Who the hell is really— Who the hell is really— IN CONTROL? [Outro] [Distorted ambience] [Distant alarms] [Slow fading guitars] Remain calm... Remain obedient...
