Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go on take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice
Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label my bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice
Whether you like it or not you’re gonna take what I got
If we can’t talk about it then we’ll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, I give a lot
But you don’t speak for me
No you don’t speak for me
Never mind me I’m a waste of your time
I’m never gonna fit in the box that you need and I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice
Whether you like it or not you’re gonna take what I got
If we can’t talk about it we’ll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, I give a lot
But you don’t speak for me
No you don’t speak for me
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
One day soon
It’s gonna fall back on you
No more lies
We’re gonna break right through
Like it or not
If we can’t talk about it
We’ll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, I give a lot
But you don’t speak for me
No you don’t speak for me
Don’t you speak for me
