I Own You - Mick Flannery & Susan O'Neill

Come on in, take a seat Tell me how you feel this weak Are you cursed? Are you blessed? Are you still inside the mess? All those feelings wrapped around you Hold you down so you can't break through It's a trap, so don't ask, it's a shadow on Your back, it don't burn, it don't bleed Still it cuts you at the knee All this pressure that surrounds you Holds you down but you know you gotta break through Hey, c'est la vie Remember me? I made you dressed and trained you Hey, it's bitter-sweet You can't kill me with kindness I don't buy it Strip down, show me flesh and bone (Strip down) 'Cause now I own you Take a breath, hold it in Now look up, let's begin Lesson learned, take a turn Now you come around again All those feelings wrapped around you Hold you down so you can't break through Time is up, take your shot 'Cause your story's all you got Don't back down, don't say no Just stay still and let go All this pressure that surrounds you Holds you down but you know You've gotta break through Hey, c'est la vie Remember me? I made you dressed and trained you Hey, it's bitter-sweet You can't kill me with kindness I don't buy it Strip down, show me flesh and bone (Strip down) 'Cause now I own you (You can't kill me with kindness, no I don't buy it) (You can't kill me with kindness, no I don't buy it) Strip down, show your flesh and bone 'Cause now I own you Hey, c'est la vie Remember me? I made you dressed and trained you Hey, it's bitter-sweet You can't kill me with kindness I don't buy it Strip down, show me flesh and bone (Strip down) 'Cause now I own you Now I own you Now I own you Now I own you You know I own you

You may keep me in In between your walls Ban me from traveling And tell me not to sing And you may have your thoughts A sketch of who I am A notion you've conceived A sight you want to see But you don't know me No, you don't know me You claim to walk in love Though mercy is your foe You've already dug a grave Now you hope I misbehave You say you know the cause Of every shattered dream Even when there's none to blame You always shout my name But I don't owe you I've never owed you You may keep me here You seem to know just how To pin me to the ground Each time you come around Take away my home Obscuring what I am And plague me all night long And lay claim to Freedom's song But you don't own me No, you don't own me You don't own me You don't own me

A man living life here, Who bought into a plan Who one day will look back over all of this And see me as I am I talk like I know what I'm saying, I walk like I know where I am going, I pretend that I know who I am And I'll live like that until the end. The path that I follow, The way I live life It can down from before I can remember, And that makes it right He look out over ancient river He looked down at his feet in the stream He think over everything that happened Every war, every hunger, ever dream How animals looks just like each other How we think we are different I imagine I can be fooled I imagine it's easy to do How many minds for how many years Thinking, that nothing really matters here, So why don't I have a little fun before I die I'll get these fools to do my bidding I lie and cheat my way to the top of some dominion Lie back on a boat in the Mediterranean Chocked full of pretty woman Wouldn't that entertain me until I go And the whole ship fall down some years afterward When I don't matter Or live fondly in someone else's memory That means nothing to me That means nothing to me That means nothing to me That means nothing to me

In that morning rain When you sang to me in the dunes In that morning rain When you sang to me in the dunes I make it, out of all the memories I can call upon That's the winner That's the winner That's the winner When you turned to me And you spoke the words I had before When you turned to me And you spoke the words I had before I make it, out of all the feelings I would want returned That's the winner That's the winner That's the winner In that moment, nothing else could matter In that moment, nothing else could matter In that moment, nothing else could matter But the winner That's the winner That's the winner That's the winner
