I begged:
"Let me be the one in control."
All those remedies began to take a toll.
Sick of shoving the alcohol down my throat.
Constantly searching for a soul to be my scapegoat.
Was that it?
I thought: "Is this truly what life is?
There has to be more to it than this."

I constantly begged:
"Let me be the one in control."
I have a lot to do in a world so cold.
It's my goal to make this place better.
A loving and open-minded world that could last forever.
I want to see people become mentally healthy.
I want to see them working hard, successful and wealthy.

So I continued to beg:
"Let me be the one in control."
So I could've protected the last of my clinging soul.
It was dwindling away,
The longer I chose to stay.
As much as I was enraged,
And disgusted by my actions, I pleaded.
I was there on my knees begging for what I needed.

In a demanding voice, I uttered:
"Let me be in control."
Because when you infected my conscience;
It's communication with me was never the same,
And surprisingly I don't know if it's you I blame.
