Defiance
I look at us now, and then I ask where we are.
Shells of ourselves, I ask what have we become?
And now I can’t help but wonder where we went so wrong.
Maybe it was me, maybe it was you, or maybe we lost ourselves along the way.
And I pray to the heavens that are so far above
That it isn’t this way, that I won’t ever cry.
But maybe it’s time for us to move on.
Why me? Why us? Why did this have to happen?
Deep in my heart, I knew we were doomed from the start.
But for some reason, I thought that we could survive.
I was foolish to deny the will of the gods above.
And they proved to me that it will never be and that I had no say in all of their affairs.
And I pray to the heavens that are so far above
That it isn’t this way, that I can change all of this.
But maybe it’s time for us to move away
Why me? Why us? Why did this have to happen?
I scream to the gods that they won’t ever have me.
I scream to the gods that they can’t ever have me.
And I pray to the heavens that are so far above
That it isn’t this way, that I won’t allow it.
But maybe it is time for us to move on.
Why me? Why us? I cannot allow this.
And I pray to the heavens above that they will fall.
And I realize that it doesn’t need to be this way
Maybe then we can finally be safe together
Why me? Why us? I will not allow this.
