I Won't

Their morality is shallow
As if they never want to fall
But you can't ignore your shadow
To bare its witness you will crawl
Are we puppets of our fate
Or are we purposely its whore
Oh how it's written on our face
To live by rules we must ignore

The depth of all of your words
Can't teach you all the unknown
To choose your way is to put you first
They told me that I was this
They told me that I was that
They told me I was a broken man
But I won't be defined anymore
I won't be defined anymore

Do you feel void of meaning?
Then that's your sign to make a change
The world has told you that there's nothing better
And that the sun is just the same as all the rain
You can take my words for truth
Or you can find out for yourself
Eden fell to show us proof of who we are
And that's when chaos came to know herself

The depth of all of their words
Can't teach you all the unknown
To choose your way is to put you first
They told me that I was this
They told me that I was that
They told me I was a broken man
But I won't be defined anymore
I won't be defined anymore

We're all laid bare in the earth
Until the showers keep on falling onto bruising shoulders
And your power stops adoring all those things you chose
Because the wreck becomes the carcass now you're skin and bone
And then you're walking through the fog to realise that it's smoke
Until the ocean opens up and swallows all your hope
That's when they ask you who you are and why you're needing them
And are you talking to them now before you meet your end
That's when the rain becomes the storm because you're labelled this
And when the walls that close on in begin to meet your fist
Now your scars are there to show you just what you can take
As every wave will have its moment right before it breaks

I won't be defined
I won't be defined
I won't be defined
I won't be defined
