Bravery Songtext
von Assemblage 23

Their words plunge like daggers
Focused derisive laughter
A target outnumbered
Cornered and torn asunder
Cast out and rejected
Fragile and unprotected
A misfit pariah
Ridiculed, undesired

A fortress strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery


Self-image distorted
Reality contorted
Dysmorphic perception
Self-doubt and introspection
Devouring and purging
Toxic cycle emerging
The shame holds, the tears flow
A red suppress for control

A fortress strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery

Addiction, dependence
Enslaved in every sense
A pattern repeating
Pointless and self-defeating
Partaking, time squandered
Promises left unhonored
With fading hope dying
Obstacles multiplying

A fortress strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery


A fortress strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery

A fortress strength is flowing like blood from open veins
A cache of courage to brace against the blinding pain
Each one of us fights battles no one else can see
Some days just waking up is an act of bravery
