[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunlight on the wreckage left last night Dark circles under the morning light Paper on my desk with a lawyer's smile Anonymous apology, sign and you'll be fine His hand at the party crossed the line He laughed, thought a no don't count as mine, damn Bottle went open, blood on the wall No cameras, no witnesses, but I remember it all [Pre-Chorus] Don't count me out, don't clap, don't count me out yet Take a look at the shareholder list you forget Five percent of the stock, twenty percent of the pen You can't buy what I own, so who's buried who, again [Chorus] This ain't an apology, it's a countdown, it's war Every wall you built on my back, I'm kicking in the door Can you hear that, that's my catalog calling That's your balance sheet and your stock prices falling I took the beating in the dark, now you're the one to sweat Oh, we ain't done yet [Verse 2] Threats on the phone, they sound cheap and weak You can buy every coward, you can't buy the freak Every song that I wrote, every line, every bar Pull my catalog, watch your whole empire stall Audit on the boardroom table, quiet and small The boys who stood by last night start to fall This game you rigged so you'd win I flip the table before the day begins [Chorus] This ain't an apology, it's a countdown, it's war Every wall you built on my back, I'm kicking in the door Can you hear that, that's my catalog calling That's your balance sheet and your stock prices falling I took the beating in the dark, now you're the one to sweat Burn it down, burn it all down [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Don't ask where I disappeared to last night I wasn't running, I was sharpening the knife, alright Your blacklist's just paper with a signature and smile Sun comes up, I'm coming for you, coming in style [Chorus] This ain't an apology, it's a countdown, it's war Every wall you built on my back, I'm kicking in the door Can you hear that, that's my catalog calling That's your balance sheet and your stock prices falling I took the beating in the dark, now you're the one to sweat [Final Chorus] This ain't an apology, it's a countdown, it's war Every wall you built on my back, I'm kicking in the door Can you hear that, that's my catalog calling That's your house of cards for the whole world watching I'm taking back every note, taking back what is mine And you'll burn in the hell that I left you behind [Bridge] They said a woman should learn to bow They forgot what happens when you corner a beast I'm not jumping off, I'm turning around I'm taking every last note you ever paid for And you'll watch your empire hit the ground [Outro] Burn it to the ground
