Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your lies that took me where I've been
Your lies don't make me who I am
Your lies that left me scarred
And so fucking hard
[Verse 2]
Your lies that burn me deep inside (Deep inside)
Your lies that helped to bleed me dry (Bleed me dry)
Left on your own
Because your cover's blown
[Verse 3]
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking it back
[Verse 4]
Against your will I'm not a slave
Against the deal and you get paid
I won't throw you a rope
You prove that shit can float
[Verse 5]
Against it, you're the enemy (Enemy)
Against it, your philosophy (Philosophy)
Shit thrown against the wall
You'll eat it all
[Verse 6]
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking it back
[Verse 7]
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking it back
[Verse 8]
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—taking the music back
I am—I'm taking it
