[Verse 1]
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self-destruction
Pushing us into self-destruction

[Chorus]
And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

[Verse 2]
Trying to please you for too long
Trying to please you for too long
In visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow

[Chorus]
And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams
