[Verse 1]
I will perform a death defying act
And I won't fall
I am brave, I can save the very small
I am everything
But I'm nothing at all
You compare my light to the sky
Why do you try to make me
Better than the divine?
It isn't the same
Don't give it a name
Let me remain
Let me remain
[Chorus]
I'm everything I've ever been
I'm everything I've ever seen
I'm everything that slowly falls
I'm everything and I'm nothing at all
(Ooh... ooh... a-a-ah...)
[Verse 2]
I will perform a death-defying miracle
For someone with the chemicals to believe
I am brave, but I've gravely understated
I can't save you from what you've taken and leave
You compare our love to the sun
What have you done?
There's a limit to the prizes we've won
It isn't the same
Don't give it a name
Let me remain
Let me remain
[Chorus]
I am everything I have ever been
I am everything I've ever seen
I'm everything that slowly falls
I'm everything and I'm nothing at all
I'm nothing at all
[Verse 3]
I will perform a death-defying magic show
For those of you that want to go someplace else
I'm brave, but I can't save you
From the things you won't change for yourself
You compare my light to the moon
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
It isn't the same
Don't give it a name
Let me remain
Let me remain
[Chorus]
I am everything I have ever been
I am everything I have ever seen
I am everything that slowly falls
I am everything and I am nothing at all
I am nothing at all
(Ooh... ooh... ooh...)

Talking to The Line Of Best Fit, Julia stated:
There’s two very distinctive songs that separated us. I always think that’s ‘us’.
His song is ‘Crash and Burn’ and my song is ‘Death Defying Acts’. With my song everything’s a really word of saying something about being everything and nothing. ‘Crash...
To Interview Magazine, Julia stated:
I was sitting in a house with a book on a shelf that said something like ‘Defying Death’. I looked at it, and just started singing. There’s nothing in that song that is tied to any personal experience.
