I Defy You

I defy you
Convince me now
That there is tragedy
Or let me be
I sit on the floor, listen for the muzzle at my door
The scrape of an axe down the corridor
I defy you
To find me

Here come the wheel turning one more time
At the top I fall, at the bottom I will rise

Make me want to live forever
Baby I could die right now
Let me forget that I ever saw this before

Where are you
I am here
And the morning
Will appear
Threaten me with thunder or threaten me with the rain
Burn me with fire or smother me again
You talk loud
I barely hear you

Here come the wheel turning one more time
At the top I fall, at the bottom I will/can rise

Make me want to live forever
Baby I could die right now
Let me forget that I ever saw this before
