Peace Over Pawns

Yeah,

I see the hand out before the hand shake.

Every single time.

I was the one who would hold up the wall

Answering every single midnight call Giving my pieces to make you feel

whole Watching you drain every drop of my soul You took my

kindness and called it a weakness Leaving me broken and left in

the bleakness (uh-huh)

No more taking from my plate

I'm drawing the line,

it's a brand new date You won't dictate how I feel inside

I'm stepping away, letting ego slide No more games,

no more control

(no more) I'm taking back my mind and my soul

Used to think helping was saving your life All that it brought

me was burden and strife Now I can see all the patterns

you play I walk the other way,

nothing to say

Keeping my distance, protecting my peace Watching the cycle of misery cease

No punk-ass energy over my head I control my steps and my

path instead (yeah)

No more taking from my plate

I'm drawing the line,

it's a brand new date You won't dictate how I feel inside

I'm stepping away, letting ego slide No more games,

no more control

(no more) I'm taking back my mind and my soul

Yeah, I see you.

But you don't get to see me anymore.

(not anymore) Protecting my peace.
