Song – Dear X, You Don’t Own Me
Artist – Disciple
Album – Horseshoes and Handgrenades
In every person’s life there are struggles and hardships which seem to always have the upper hand time and time again. But there is one thing which mankind has shown throughout history, that no matter the disadvantage or the number of failures, if one chooses to believe, there is always a way to overcome.
The human spirit has shown countless times the amazing ability to overcome what holds one down. When we are faced with the things that bring us down, fill us with shame, and time and time again cause pain. We must face them head on and remember that whatever X may represent, it doesn’t own you.
So when you feel like the same thing brings you down time and time again, don’t believe the lies and press on. Knowing that you may bend but you won’t break. In the past, you may have been held down but you are no longer, not anymore.
Life, keep it simple and live it
Josh
Lyrics:
Dear pain, oh, it’s been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night
Dear shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go but you’re still chasing
Go ahead, you’re never going to take me
You can bend, but you’re never going to break me
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
Dear hate, I know you’re not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries
Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go, but you’re still chasing
Go ahead, you’re never going to take me
You can bend, but you’re never going to break me
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you’ve got no bullet
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie
Go ahead, you’re never going to take me
You can bend, but you’re never going to break me
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you’ve got no bullet
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
Go ahead, put a target on my forehead
You can fire, but you’ve got no bullet
I was yours, I’m not yours anymore
You don’t own me
