surviving on defiance

When I run

You won't find me by tracing my steps

Far from what I wanted

All the horrors you made so real

Burned in mind as promised

If I'm living, know I'm half alive

I'm surviving on defiance

I'm fighting in the wake

Unfettered so maybe

Flowers will bloom for me again

The mirror in my face

She's screaming for blood and violence

But it's my time to pretend

As it was

I was losing myself to a fear as a bittered constant

Oh, I refuse to know you from here

I'm a tempered object

While the future's still looking bright

I'm surviving on defiance

I'm fighting in the wake

Unfettered so maybe

Flowers will bloom for me again

The mirror in my face

She's screaming for blood and violence

But it's my time to pretend

So run
