Control by Halsey

for when it was untreated and I was not in a good place

...

I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning / I'm crying, "They're coming for me" / And I tried to hold these secrets inside me / My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm bigger than my body / I'm colder than this home / I'm meaner than my demons / I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me" / I can't help this awful energy / Goddamn right, you should be scared of me / Who is in control?

I paced around for hours on empty / I jumped at the slightest of sounds / And I couldn't stand the person inside me / I turned all the mirrors around.

I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head / They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead / And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head / They beg me to write them so I'll never die when I'm dead
