surviving on defiance

[Verse 1]
When I run
You won't find me tracing my steps
From what I wanted
All the horrors you made so real
Burned in mind as promised

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm living, know I'm half-alive
I'm surviving on defiance

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
While the future's still looking bright
I'm surviving on defiance

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
So run
