Mind over everything

She's whispering history in my ear

I think it's meant to inspire

To reveal light or

To make me succumb with fear

 

I never listen to history talkers

I assume they are all liars

Because their are the only voice

In the room

 

Ill give their words my heart

It's been kicked, stabbed, dosed

With a fifth of kerosene and lit

By the flame of a fresh match

 

Torn, beat, spat on, shattered

And built back up again

 

Yes

They can do whatever they desire to my heart

It's seen, heard, and felt it all before

But they will never recognize my mind

My mind will never falter
