You walk in like you’re king, Like every damn room’s your throne, Barkin’ orders like I’m some dog you think you fuckin’ own. You poke and push and prod, like you’re tryin’ to see me break, But you don’t know the roads I’ve walked or what’s left in my wake. You don’t know the shit I’ve done, Or the shit I still could do— If it wasn’t for that last good piece of me You’d already be through. You keep pushin’, I keep breakin’, You keep pressin’ on the crack. But there’s still a line I won’t be crossin’, Even when you’re on the attack. Yeah, I’m holdin’ on to somethin’ That surprises even me— ‘Cause with all the shit I’ve done, I never thought I’d let you be. You take my time, you take my patience, Yeah, you drain me to the bone— And somehow I keep standin’, Holdin’ back a side you’ve never known. You walk around like you’re some savior, Like every step you take is blessed. You throw your weight, you own the air, You act like I should say “yes, sir,” to every fuckin’ breath. Yeah, you twist the knife just for the thrill, You drain my time, you bend my will— And I swear to hell, one more shove and I might kill… You keep pushin’, I keep breakin’, You keep pressin’ on the crack. But there’s still a line I won’t be crossin’, Even when you’re on the attack. Yeah, I’m holdin’ on to somethin’ That surprises even me— ‘Cause with all the shit I’ve done, I never thought I’d let you be. I ain’t an angel, hell, I ain’t close, I’ve walked roads darker than most. You stand there, smug, like you ain’t toast— But my restraint is your ghost. Don’t mistake it for weakness, Don’t mistake it for fear— It’s just the last of my humanity Keepin’ you here. You keep pushin’, I keep breakin’, You keep pressin’ on the crack. But there’s still a line I won’t be crossin’, Even when you’re on the attack. Yeah, I’m holdin’ on to somethin’ That surprises even me— ‘Cause with all the shit I’ve done, I never thought I’d let you be. There’s a piece of me that’s true— The only thing protectin’ you From everything I could do. Yeah, I’m holdin’ on to conscience By a thread you never knew— Say one more word… And God help me if you do.
