Say it like you mean it
Say it like it's always been
Something you believe in
Story you'll tell again
Never mind where my feet never step
Beds in which I've never slept
Of all the little cuts and bits I've kept
You reject my intellect
I'm not gonna black and white it
Calling you to watch me fight it
Never mind what's behind it
Wood and candlelight it
As I raise my hand to strike it
Shake my hand and like it
I'm not gonna black and white it
Calling you to watch me fight it
Never mind what's behind it
Wood and candlelight it
As I raise my hand to strike it
Shake my hand and like it
Shake my hand and like it
Shake my hand and like it
And I land the words right
Something someone else had said
Marching to the edge I'm
Wearing someone else's head
What's mine is mine, what's yours is also mine
Told you so a thousand times
Of all the little here-and-theres I find
This one I could claim as mine
This one I could claim as mine
I'm not gonna black and white it
Calling you to watch me fight it
Never mind what's behind it
Wood and candlelight it
As I raise my hand to strike it
Shake my hand and like it
I'm not gonna black and white it
Calling you to watch me fight it
Never mind what's behind it
Wood and candlelight it
As I raise my hand to strike it
Shake my hand and like it
(I'm not gonna black and white it)
(I'm not gonna black and white it)
(As I raise my hand to strike it)
Shake my hand and like it
Shake my hand and like it
