Defiance

Got a broken heart
Got an anxious mind
Got a hopeless voice inside
But I'm fighting

Yeah I've got a few knives
And a million scars
I know I've got to keep up my guard
When did it get so hard?

Sometimes I can't lift my eyes
Above my tears
Sometimes I can't see the light
Beyond my fears

Try to kill my drive but I'm fighting
Try to hold me down but I'm rising
Try to tell me I can't do this but I'm trying
I'm fighting, I'm rising, I am defying

This battle is not insignificant
This battle is not insignificant

All I can do is carry on
All I can do is carry on

Sometimes I can't lift my eyes
Above my tears
Sometimes I can't see the light
Beyond my fears

Try to kill my drive but I'm fighting
Try to hold me down but I'm rising
Try to tell me I can't do this but I'm rising
I'm fighting, I'm rising, I am defying

And all I can do is keep on fighting
And all I can do is keep on fighting

For every rejection
For every dismissal
For every time I was told
I'm not welcome

For every doubt
For every attack
Your hate is my weapon
I'm fighting back

For every rejection
For every dismissal
For every time I was told
I'm not welcome

For every doubt
For every attack
Your hate is my weapon
I'm fighting back

Got a broken heart
Got an anxious mind
Got a helpless bind
And I'm losing time

Try to kill my drive
Try to make me drown
But when I am down
I'm fighting

Try to kill my drive
Try to make me doubt
Try to make me drown
But when I am down

I'm fighting
I'm rising
I am defying

And all I can do is keep on fighting
