Title: man I'm taking it back
---
Verse 1
She sold me an illusion, dressed it up in charm
A velvet voice of comfort, hiding all the harm
Led me through her labyrinth, where love was just a game
I lost myself in silence, while she called out my name
---
Verse 2
She’s defeated my masculinity, now she wears the crown
Took my strength, my pride, flipped it upside down
She walked like thunder, I crawled beneath her rain
She laughed while I shattered, a king without domain
---
Chorus
She sold me an illusion, and I bought it whole
Now I see the damage, deep inside my soul
She became the man, while I forgot who I am
But I’ve woken from her spell, I’ve broken through the scam
---
Verse 3
I stared into the mirror, saw a stranger’s face
A hollow-eyed reflection in a conquered space
But deep inside the silence, I heard a rising roar
The voice I buried years ago—now kicking down the door
---
Bridge
No more walking blind through her twisted masquerade
No more kneeling down in the prison she made
I burned the lies, I’ve shed the skin
Now the fire inside me rises from within
---
Verse 4
I walked away from madness, tore the chains apart
Rebuilt the bones of manhood, beat the fear from my heart
She may have played the master, but I reclaimed the flame
I rose from her illusion—I remember my name
---
Outro
I’m the man I used to be, and more than I was then
Stronger from the battle, never hers again
She tried to own my soul, but I found my command
I’ve risen from the wreckage—I’m back, I’m the man
