LYRICS

I take it back
You’re going down
I’ve had enough of you dragging all of my shame around

I take it back
You’re gonna bruise
Cos I got something you don’t, I got nothing to lose

You had my trust
I gave you that
I gave you that

Gave you my power
But I take it back
I take it back

You don’t remember
But I can’t forget
So I’m gathering up everything I ever tried to suppress

Now I’m a walking weapon
A bleeding history book
I see you closing your eyes but I’m gonna make you look

Cos you had my heart
I gave you that
I gave you that

Gave you my power
But I take it back
I’m taking it back

oooohs

The power to speak my mind without attack
To hold my head high and shoulders back
The power to turn this table round
To stand up when you want me down
The power to choose what’s right for me
For my future for my family
The power to burn these filthy walls
I take it back
I take it all

My light. My dark. My fire. My spark. My Story. My vision. My choices. My decisions.
Count the minutes. Count the hours. I’m taking back my power.

And when I take it back
You’re gonna wish you treated me better than that.

LYRICS

Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t just go there
Keep pulling at the thread pretty soon you’re gonna
Unleash what’s in here

Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t push me again
I got a memory like an elephant honey, I never forget

They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m coming back

Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t just do that
Keep tugging at the line pretty soon you’re gonna
Regret what you catch

Oh no you didn’t
You didn’t try that again
I got a little book in my heart where names like yours get written down in red

They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I never lose track
And when the day comes honey
To collect my rent money
I’ll be back

I got everything you owe me etched into my soul
Under these bruises and blood is an animal
And the crevices you cut were so deep
But now the dark, dark water’s gathering

They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m keeping tabs
They call me the collector
Cos they know I’m coming back

So if you think you’re better
I dare you fella
Yeah, I dare you fella
Find out why they call me the collector

LYRICS

Everything comes down
To what may happen now
Hold me as I wait
Four lifetimes in a day

Feet on ancient land
Carry me like I know you can
This can’t wait
Today I’m playing where the big kids play

Every dream I’ve chased
Has led me to this place

Feet on solid ground
Hold me up, don’t let me fall down

Gonna show them I’ve got what it takes
Today I’m playing where the big kids play
Today I’m playing where the big kids play

And I’m gonna show them
I am here to stay
That I belong here
Playing where the big kids play
