Can't lower my guard
I choose to react
Because the traps are hidden in plain sight
What's done is done
there's no looking back

Can't fall behind
I'm out of my cage
Its "sink or swim", its "live or die"
As you grew old in age
I grew so cold in rage

Now times are changing from bad to worse
But I'm still the same
Still the same against this world

Till my dying day, till my final breath
against a world I don't belong

On this life we never find peace
Daily struggles that will never cease
we live, we lie, we love, we die
Striving to survive

But I'm still defiant!
And will remain defiant!
Standing through the tests of time
Never fall in line

The world keeps spinning
but going in reverse
Hard times have changed me
yet I am still the same

Live and learn, never forget
of the choices and the paths we have take
No remorse, no regret
Always two steps ahead
