I Refuse

[Verse 1: Micah Ariss]
Hold up here we are again, trying to get ahold of my mind again
I'm in a battle for my thoughts and depressed again
I don't know why this is happening
Something in my mind's against the flow
And I can feel a constant power struggle over my soul
It's like there's two voices in my head and I can't condone
The behavior of my mind that I can't control
My friends keep asking if I'm doing alright
I say I'm fine, that's a lie I'm trying to survive
I'm trying to keep my chin up and to pick up the slack
I'm tired of playing a defense I want to attack
I've had enough of the doubt and enough of the lies
I'm tired to be so awake at night
So I hope you understand there's a line in the sand
You want to come back, talk to the hand

[Chorus: Micah Ariss & Dawson Samuel]
I'm done running today, you can't have your way
I'm done hearing all the lies, you have to say
This is the fight for my life, so I'll face you tonight
This time, you're not going prey on me
I'm finally feeling alive, for the very first time
I'm finally winning in the war inside my mind
I'm done listening to you, there is nothing left you can do
You try and get at me again, but I refuse

[Verse 2: Dawson Samuel]
Wanna move but my hands are tied
Why could I never see right through your lies
It's like a part of you has just occupied
The space in my mind where the thoughts reside
Feels like an eternity
Been fighting for the battle for the life of me
Just trying to find the strength to find my inner peace
But it's hard to keep on breathing when you're sinking deep
No more living in a prison that you built to keep me hidden
From the truth that you were spinning all your lies into wisdom
Like a virus in my system trying to kill me
While I'm trippin' so I gotta keep my distance
I refuse to be a victim
I've had enough of the stress so I'll rise and I'll fight
I've been over this since you stole my life
It's time to take it back and to find the light
I'm bringing revolution and it starts tonight

[Chorus: Micah Ariss & Dawson Samuel]
I'm done running today, you can't have your way
I'm done hearing all the lies, you have to say
This is the fight for my life, so I'll face you tonight
This time, you're not going prey on me
I'm finally feeling alive, for the very first time
I'm finally winning in the war inside my mind
I'm done listening to you, there is nothing left you can do
You try and get at me again, but I refuse

[Chorus: Micah Ariss & Dawson Samuel]
I'm done running today, you can't have your way
I'm done hearing all the lies, you have to say
This is the fight for my life, so I'll face you tonight
This time, you're not going prey on me
I'm finally feeling alive, for the very first time
I'm finally winning in the war inside my mind
I'm done listening to you, there is nothing left you can do
You try and get at me again, but I refuse
