[based on "I will not be broken" by Robert Atworth]
|
|
Daggers of fear
|
brandish my skin
|
I believe I'm innocent
|
Of this sin
|
The accusation
|
of being a coward
|
bounces off
|
my rubber mask
|
just a word
|
They try to get me
|
to fall apart
|
try to get into my heart.
|
|
They circle around me chanting
|
wild phrases
|
They mix me up inside
|
vast mazes
|
But I am not broken.
|
words are useless now to me
|
action are decisions lost at sea.
|
|
I fight with the power to heal wounds
|
I fight with the hope it will be over soon.
|
I fight with the will that unbroken win.
|
I fight with the dagger sticking my skin.
|
|
But I will not be broken.
|
|
Now they try to take my pride
|
but all my tears have chosen to hide.
|
|
I cannot weep,
|
I cannot lose hope,
|
I must fight.
|
I must fight through the day
|
I must fight into the faded night.
|
|
Daggers of fear
|
brandish my skin
|
I believe I'm innocent
|
Of this sin
|
The accusation
|
of being a coward
|
bounces off
|
my rubber mask
|
just a word
|
They try to get me
|
to fall apart
|
try to get into my heart.
