| Backbone  You think I'll just let this happen, and stand aside But I decided to stand instead of hide Maybe you should be the one who gets out of the way Because you'll get stepped on if you stay I was the one to always bend, and I even broke My true feeling I was forced to supress, and choke Instead of freeing them, and letting them fly I had to make who I am die But beneath the ashes, and smoldering flames Was my light that was just waiting to change the rules of the games Here I stand on my own two feet Letting everyone meet, and greet You can't hold down what's bigger than you You can't kill what's stronger too I won't face into the dark slumber anymore I'd rather show you the door& nbsp You think I'll give up, and admit defeat Praying my weakness will repeat That I'll huddle up on the floor But I won't cry, I'll roar Sorry I can't be fake I know all too well what's at stake I wish I could pretend everything's okay To not think, but to just obey& nbsp; But I have to be true to myself, what's real l had to stop numbing what I feel So you say they will rip my asunder Going against the flow will take me under But I'd rather die fighting than live lying I'll be the one remembered for defying The ones who dictate who we are And I'm going to raise the bar |
