I Will Not

With broken bones, I stand up tall to get away
If I leave, you know there will be hell to pay
With blood, if I start fighting
WIth rage, it's hot, it's lightning
This wasn't what I chose
This choice was made for me
And here I am
Yes, here I am

Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not yield
Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not back

I curl across this room with knuckles bent to bone
My mind is set, I will not speak, I will not groan
The flip-flop from my head, I'm feeling close to death
This wasn't what I chose
This choice was made for me
And here I am
Yes, here I am

Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not yield
Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not back

Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not yield
Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not stand

Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not yield
Don't you want me to fight?
Don't you want me to cry?
Don't you want me to kneel?
What do you want me to do?
But I will not
No, I will not back
