I Will Not Be Broken - Anasarca

Daggers of fear

Brandish my skin

I believe I’m innocent

Of this sin

The accusation

Of being a coward

Bounces off

My rubber mask

Just a word

They try to get me

To fall apart

Try to get into my heart

They circle around me chanting

Wild phrases

They mix me up inside

Vast mazes

But I am not broken

Words are useless now to me

Action are decisions lost at sea

I fight with the power to heal wounds

I fight with the hope it will be over soon

I fight with the will that unbroken win

I fight with the dagger sticking my skin

But I will not be broken

Now they try to take my pride

But all my tears have chosen to hide

I cannot weep

I cannot lose hope

I must fight

I must fight through the day

I must fight into the faded night

Daggers of fear

Brandish my skin

I believe I’m innocent

Of this sin

The accusation

Of being a coward

Bounces off

My rubber mask

Just a word

They try to get me

To fall apart

Try to get into my heart
