There's hounds behind me, for the blood upon my hands. No crowd will hide me now they've found the path I ran. I pound the backstreets, fear numbed my aching bones. Feet don't fail me take me home.
Faster, faster, you know time's not on my side. The truth I harbour is getting harder now to hide. A child abandoned coming present in my skin, still unforgiven for giving in.
But so defiant, defiant, defiantly loved by you, defiant, defiantly loved, loved loved.
Your eyes unblinded as the lies were boldly sworn, I guard a proud heart and my silver tongue was drawn. Our lives divided, but we steel our nerve and spine. I for your own sake, and you for mine.
So defiant, defiant, defiantly loved by you, defiant, defiantly loved, loved, loved.
The river rolls on with a grace upon it's shame. A faithful white swan, loyal to it's poisoned veins. A thousand secrets that have drowned within those depths, bound and silenced on a stone cold bed.
So defiant, defiant, defiantly loved by you, defiant, defiantly loved, loved, loved.
When I was locked in paranoid, involuntary choices, I was loved, loved. When I was screaming but was one in a cacophony of solitary voices, I was loved, loved. Forever screaming in the void. Forever screaming at the void.
Defiant, defiant, defiantly loved by you, defiant, defiantly loved.
