i am the voice inside your head and i control you i am the lover in your bed and i control you i am the sex that you provide and i control you i am the hate you try to hide and i control you i take you where you want to go i give you all you need to know i drag you down i use you up mr. self destruct i speak religion's message clear and i control you i am denial guilt and fear and i control you i am the prayers of the naïve and i control you i am the lie that you believe and i control you i take you where you want to go i give you all you need to know i drag you down i use you up mr. self destruct i am the needle in your vein and i control you i am the high you can't sustain and i control you i am the pusher i'm a whore and i control you i am the need you have for more and i control you i am the bullet in the gun and i control you i am the truth from which you run and i control you i am the silencing machine and i control you i am the need in you for more and i control you i take you where you want to go i give you all you need to know i drag you down i use you up mr. self destruct
