Their Control

Do me a favor and look in this mirror
ask it a question and it will answer
I see that you're unhappy but just wait and see
there's something there that your eyes are missing

Challenge the boundaries of what we know
run to the edge to see how far you can go
take a wrong turn, take a different road
write a new song, make it all your own
and don't dare to listen anymore
to the cries of lies scattered on the floor
they'll be begging for you to return
they now have lost and must learn

(Chorus)
There's no denying individuality
something different is really true beauty
the things that they say just don't fit
are the very things that they wish for
oh, no, they can't accept that this is true, and
they don't want to admit that they are wrong
all the words they said, get 'em out of your head
you're beautiful, so beautiful, it's crucial
try to believe, 'cause you inspire
as you rise and their control grows tired

Abandon formalities and embrace your soul
be all you are, there's no one to say 'no'
follow a path, or wander til you're home
make this life yours and yours alone
and don't try to fake it when you're sure
this isn't YOU so just close that door
they'll think that you will crawl back
but you're gonna make a comeback!

(Chorus)
There's no denying individuality
something different is really true beauty
the things that they say just don't fit
are the very things that they wish for
oh, no, they can't accept that this is true, and
they don't want to admit that they are wrong
all the words they said, get 'em out of your head
you're beautiful, so beautiful, it's crucial
try to believe, 'cause you inspire
as you rise and their control grows tired
