Taking Back Control

Yeah

They

took

it all

Every piece I laid down

I was laying out the gold,

opening up the gates Feeding every hand that was serving up the

hate Thought it was kindness,

thought they needed a lift But they just wanted the plunder,

never valued the gift Now they line up like they're owed a

tax

Taking everything, leaving cold tracks

No more pieces of my

heart on your plate

(no more)

I'm locking down the gate,

stepping out of your shade

You can't control how I feel in this life

(never

again)

No more trading my peace for your strife

I had to open my eyes,

recognize the design Every favor was a debt they were leaving behind

These punk ass fakers trying to pull my strings But I cut

the connection and the peace it brings No more anger,

no more feeding the scheme I just walk away clean,

keeping hold of my dream

No more pieces of my heart on your plate

(no more)

I'm locking down the gate,

stepping out of your shade

You can't control how I feel in this life

(never again)

No more trading my peace for your strife

Staying away is the power I found Silencing all of your background

sound (shhh)

I control the dial now

My kindness is mine to keep

Yeah,

we're done here
