Defiance

(album: We Came As Romans - 2015)

Ready to defy, ready to resist
Open up these walls built to keep you out
Going stronger with every struggle
Like a wave crashing into the shore each time
Can't be stopped with your emotion
As we repossess the ocean
Still my walls stand high

I can feel these walls, feel them closing in
But I'm—but I'm not falling apart again
I still hear
I can hear their words, still won't let them in
'Cause I'm—'cause I'm not falling apart again

I'm not falling apart again
I'm not falling apart

Ready to contend, ready to withstand
Open up these walls built to keep you out
Nothing you say can make me give up
I'm persistent like a river cuts through a rock
Keeping crushing, I won't give in,
I'm as steadfast as I've always been
Still the walls stand high

I can feel these walls, feel them closing in
But I'm—but I'm not falling apart again
I still hear
I can hear their words, still won't let them in
'Cause I'm—'cause I'm not falling apart again

I'd die on my feet, I can't live on my knees
I'll never give in
Die on my feet, I will never appease
I'll never give in

Still the walls stand high

I can feel these walls, feel them closing in
But I'm—but I'm not falling apart again
I still hear
I can hear their words, still won't let them in
'Cause I'm—'cause I'm not falling apart again

I'm not falling apart again
I'm not falling apart

I'd die on my feet, I can't live on my knees
I'll never give in
Die on my feet, I will never appease
I'll never give in
