I tried to control my shaking
With just one sigh
I tried to warm the ocean
By riding it down
I tried to tame my nightmares
Line by line
For I had a song about you
Then make you mine
The conductor caught in slow-motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over the same motion
This work is never done
The only thing that's certain
Is your indecision
I guess it must be working
Cause you hit me with such precision
Now the strings are breaking
Your fingers run with blood
But they keep on playing
The cycle never stops
Who's in control?
Who's playing who?
She wants to be a monster
Conducting them too
She knows the song won't save her
But what else can she do
She weeps just like a willow
And she's playing for you
She's fragile and she's ferocious
As the current flows through
She's a conductor caught in slow-motion
The orchestra plays on
Over and over the same motion
This work is never done
Now here comes the crescendo
The music starts to sway
And now it's so ecstatic
I know this part so well
And then it goes staccato
The notes were flying on
Higher and higher
But they never reach the top
Who's in control?
Who's playing who?
Who's in control?
Who's playing who?
I am the orchestra
Conductor too
My heart is a concert hall
And I filled it with you
