Graven Image

Her eyes look down on me, upon my sorrow
As my soul lies on its death bed
Lost in regret, I could not change
I will stand strong in every way

Nothing but a lie to myself
Step by step, closer to destruction
When I try to turn away from that image
I have failed
Those created in my own image
I have crumbled

I say in a small and frail voice, I say
I will not fall
And under the pressure of her gaze, I say
I will not crumble, I will not fall

I will not crumble, I will not fall
I will not crumble, I will not fall
I will not crumble, I will not fall

This ethic must permeate every aspect of my life
Not just those that come with ease
Rise above, regain control
Tear away from that image

This one time has become a habit
And will no longer be found within me
I say again, this time with much conviction
And sincerity

I will not fall, I will not crumble
I will not fall, I will not crumble
I will not fall, I will not crumble
I will not fall, I will not crumble
I will not crumble, I will not crumble
