[Intro]
[gated synths rising
Distant screams]
You tore him from my arms
One year in the dark
I carved through every scar
To drag him back from far
[Verse 1]
Paper cuts and metal teeth
Courthouse cold
I barely breathe
You smirked like you already won
Signed my name in my own blood for my son
You lied in a suit and tie
I shook as the judge walked by
But I stared straight through your grin
Thought
“Over my dead body you win”
[Chorus]
You can’t have him
He’s not yours
I bled truth
Through those doors
You stole a year
You stole my skin
But I’ll burn this world
Before I lose him
You can’t have him
You can’t have him
[Verse 2]
Clock on the wall moved slow
Every tick hit like a blow
His picture folded in my hand
I swore I’d rip apart this stand
Your shadow stretched down the aisle
I saw his face in your smile
Rage like thunder in my chest
I rose screaming
“Give me back what’s left!”
[Chorus]
You can’t have him
He’s not yours
I bled truth
Through those doors
You stole a year
You stole my skin
But I’ll burn this world
Before I lose him
You can’t have him
You can’t have him
[Bridge]
[guitars and synths lock into a chugging
Glitchy breakdown]
(gutturals)
One. Year. Gone
I count each day in broken bone
One. Voice. Strong
I tear your name from every home
You held him like a trophy high
I held onto the will to try
Judge’s hammer
Thunder crack
Every echo screaming
“Take him back!”
[Chorus]
You can’t have him
He’s not yours
I bled truth
Through those doors
You stole a year
You stole my skin
But I’ll burn this world
Before I lose him
You can’t have him
You can’t have him
[Outro]
[half-time drop
Bass lurching
Final roar]
You stole a year
You get nothing
I walk out with my son
And my heart still hunting
You can’t have him
(never again)
