Me Or The Music

When I hear you say
It’s either me or the music
It’s like choosing a way to die
If I’m faced with this
It’s take it or leave it
Then I’m leaving

I gave you rhythm and it started to beat like a heart
And that’s when a soul gets a start
Got to singing cause I knew it would breathe in some life
To my own Frankenstein
Cause the blood that’s pumping through
Those veins is mine
The tears that rolling
Started in my eyes

So when I hear you say
It’s either me or the music
It’s like choosing a way to die
If I’m faced with this
It’s take it or leave it
Then I know which I’m leaving behind
It’s me or the music
And I’ve got to choose
Take it or leave it
Then I’m leaving and taking the music with me

I gave it movement just to name it a piece of me
Like a rib out of Adam or Eve
When I’m dead and you only got nothing more to say
It’s my voice from the grave
Cause the tongue that’s speaking through those teeth is mine
Whether it be haunting
I’m singing you deeper into sleep with every line

So when I hear you say
It’s either me or the music
It’s like choosing a way to die
If I’m faced with this
It’s take it or leave it
Then I know which I’m leaving behind
It’s me or the music
And I’ve got to choose
Take it or leave it
Then I’m leaving
And taking the music with me
I’m gone

I gave it rhythm and it started to beat like a heart
And that’s when a soul gets a start
Though it may not be literally flesh and bones
I treat it as one of my own

So when I hear you say
It’s either me or the music
It’s like choosing a way to die
If I’m faced with this
It’s take it or leave it
Then I know which I’m leaving behind
It’s me or the music
And I’ve got to choose
Take it or leave it
Then I’m leaving and taking the music with me
