Corporate Prophet - Outta Control

Lie to me, I gotta be
The best version for the world to see
I don't really wanna hear the truth
My reflection fading, I can see the proof
It's like the person that I thought I was
Is fake as fuck and I'm craving love
I was hoping you could stroke my ego
And save me from the beast be my hero
The evil inside is draining my soul
The horrors of the world wicked and cold
I used to be perfect and flawless
I think I'm safer in my coffin
So at least I could finally sleep
It's the only place where there's peace
I been stressing, I been praying and crying out
Hoping I get me a blessing

Tell me yo best lie
Tell me yo best lie
I wanna hear that you really admire me
Make me feel like I might fly

Tell me yo best lie
Tell me yo best lie
I wanna hear that you really admire me
I wanna feel like I can't die

When I thought the world was in my hands
The monster in my head had other plans
I just need somebody that'll tell me I'm fine
So, I can enjoy the rest of my time
They say it's a reason for all of my suffering
But it won't stop the obsession
Just ease the pain with less than the truth
And help me understand the lesson
If ever the beast may swallow me whole
I wanna thank you for the lies you told
It's wonderful here cause I'm free from the pain
The worries of the world drive me insane
Its dark and I know I'm alone
With the agony all on my own
But it's nobodys fault but the voices inside
Who cares if I treated em wrong?

I look in mirror, with my head hanging and I'm drowning
It's as if the confidence I once had was plucked from my soul
I've burned bridges and never looked back
Only now wishing I could retrace my steps
I'm broken, I put band aids on the scars
But I'm still falling apart
The pedestal where I once reigned has come crashing down
I'm now amongst the ones I've stepped over and disregarded
Hoping they will look my way and notice who I am
Craving attention, I pick my head up, throw my shoulders back
And drag my lifeless body around aimlessly
Just one lie, that's all I need, pretend to adore me
Even if you don't mean it
Because I'm outta control
