Excision
Surviving the Invasive Voices: Defiance in Adversity
Lyrics
Behind the nerve of each thought
Reflecting on the underlying emotions and thoughts.
lies the harsh voice of another,
Acknowledging the critical inner voice from external influences.
an invasive growth that speaks
Describing an intrusive influence that communicates.
with words that should be my own.
Expressing a desire for authentic self-expression.
Where I step, where I lay,
Associating personal actions and experiences with another person.
where I peel back skin, I see only your face.
Feeling dominated by the presence of someone significant.
Hands laying mercy,
Depicting a scenario of seeking compassion or help.
put sharpened edge to vein.
Symbolizing a self-destructive act, possibly out of despair.
Pry teeth under skin and resect the touch
Expressing a desire to eliminate harmful influences.
that withers and atrophies.
Rejecting influences that weaken and waste away.
You will not thrive inside me,
Asserting control and resisting internal intrusion.
where your breath falls
Rejecting a burdensome presence and its consequences.
will be no cross I'll bear.
Refusing to bear the burdens imposed by the intrusive presence.
I will do as I must to live so my spite survives.
Committing to necessary actions to preserve personal strength.
You will not thrive inside me.
Reiterating the rejection of internal influence.
You will not contort and shape this life.
Affirming resistance against distortion of one's life.
Malignant voice under tissue, with scalpel,
Describing the destructive nature being removed surgically.
I tear you out.
Acting decisively to eliminate the negative influence.
My spite survives.
Emphasizing the survival of personal strength and determination.
Every breath is remission.
Associating each breath with a renewal of strength.
Every breath is my revenge.
Viewing every breath as a form of retaliation or empowerment.
