What would you like me to do or say if I let you have your way
I could pretend I was a basket case and just let you play your game
But there's a truth and a hidden shape, there's a seem in this uniform
Not gonna let you roughen up the feathers, no this birdie has been flown
It's the love, it's the hate
The stories we tell are the same
A beat on repeat
We feel nothing
Just enough reason to take a stand
I've had just enough interruptions from you man
You think my stories too rough, you try and shut me up
But I've got enough stuff to speak of
Just enough reasons to pick a fight
Are you tough enough or am I gonna make you cry
You wanna call me a bluff go ahead, I don't need your trust
Cause I've got enough stuff to speak up
What would you like me to do
What would you like me to say
No doll face, no playing your game, no sweetener, ain't no way
It's a cry and a rage from thousands of years in a cage
The story is changing there's something
It's the king and the slave, It's the knight and the dame
It's the love and the hate, It's the rivalry and the shame
It's the cross Jesus faced, and the blood you can taste
But that picture in a frame
Let it all fade away
Just enough reasons to pick a fight
Are you tough enough or am I gonna make you cry
You wanna call me a bluff
Go ahead, I don't need your trust
Cause I've got enough stuff to speak up
