I Defy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Be my one, would you take my sun
Would you tell someone
Whether we had fun
With you heroes, double zeros
Running circles a round you fears
I'm never ever falling again
Would you tkae my grace
Look into my face
With your limp handshake
And your smile that's fake
Would you back my fight
Say your down for life
Well it's easy to say
When your words don't mean
Nothing
Anger makes me long for
A better way
You'll fear my strength
If I'm backed into a cage
Because i defy
I defy
I defy
I defy
I defy
See my fate, underestimate
I intoxicate while you emulate
With the losers and users
Sucking up to the abusers
And I'm never ever falling again
For the tricks you play
Or the fronts you claim
You just can't fade
The respect I've made
You're a parasite
You conform on site
You're the link in the chain
That was weak and
Always will be
Anger makes me long for
A better way
You'll fear my strength
If I'm backed into a cage
Because i defy
I defy
I defy
I defy
