Your convincing words
Are childishly insane
To get what you want
You'll say anything
In your mind
You lust to control me
You lust
For control
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me
My pain is your pleasure
My agony excites you
Desperate for a change
But change comes within
I'm not staying
Not around you
I'm stronger than you think
Much stronger than you
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Longing to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Dying to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Hatred is a tool
Thoughtlessly you use
Ruin an only friend
With misleading rules
Contain your own rage
Give yourself praise
'Cause you have no shame
With your callous game

The lyrics to this song convey the form of manipulation shown in quotation two, which is someone manipulating the ideas of another to gain something beneficial for themselves.
As highlighted in the selection, "Your convincing words; to get what you want, you'll say anything; you lust to control me." Someone is described as using their words to convince someone, so that they can get what they want. This is almost exactly the type of manipulation described in quotation two. It also says "You'll say anything; you lust to control me," showing that this person will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.
This type of manipulation is also conveyed in my Flash Fiction, "The Not So Good Friends." In this story, Ernie and Frank manipulate Chris into obtaining the key so that they can steal the equipment for themselves.
