Defined by This

I will not be defined by this
By you and me
Defined by this
Tragedy
I will not be made less
By fear by loss
Won't be defined

Even if I could stop you
I'd still tell you to try
Wouldn't warn you away
If I could go back in time
Wouldn't save you the pain
Wouldn't let you walk away
Lost innocence
But that pain is mine

I choose the risk I'll take the pain I'll take the fall
I choose the risk if I can't walk I'll learn to crawl
I choose the risk I'll take the pain I'll take the fall
I choose the risk when I can't walk I'll learn to crawl
Pain's the gift that reminds me I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Waves crash hard, rage will flow
Dam is broke, tears fall
Let them go, not immune
Vulnerable

I promise I will not fall
Too far to climb to scale that wall
I promise I will not fall
I will stand vulnerable

The liminal space between the real
The real of now
The real of then
Will always be,
Opposed but true
Whole throughout we are
Defined by this

Even if I could stop you
I'd still tell you to try
Wouldn't warn you away
If I could go back in time
Wouldn't save you the pain
Wouldn't let you walk away
Lost innocence
But that pain is mine

I choose the risk I'll take the pain I'll take the fall
I choose the risk if I can't walk I'll learn to crawl
I choose the risk I'll take the pain I'll take the fall
I choose the risk when I can't walk I'll learn to crawl
Pain's the gift that reminds me I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
