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.
I defy
Kept me in the dark, always in the dark
I was waiting
You liked me pacified, kept me undermined
I am waking up now
I gave my life
I made the time
I built it all
But you took what's mine for you
But it's not for you
You think that you own me
But you'll never take the best of me
Cause I am the only
One to create my destiny
I'm not afraid to cross the line
You will break as I defy
So far beyond repair
I don't really care what it costs me
You say the truth is classified
I won't be denied
You can't stop me, not now
You're criminal
Subliminal
Manipulating
I won't fall for it
I'll never quit
You think that you own me
But you'll never take the best of me
Cause I am the only
One to create my destiny
I'm not afraid to cross the line
You will break as I defy
This is my world
You are just living in it
This is my world
You think that you own me
But you'll never take the best of me
Cause I am the only
One to create my destiny
I'm not afraid to cross the line
You will break as I defy
I defy
This is my world
