lyrics

Burning like embers, my eyes and my body
Acid cannot stall my courage, my will

You acted without a thought
What was my fault?
To deserve this acid on my face

Are these facial scars now my identity?

My face burnt
My whole bodies writhes in pain
I don’t recognise my self
Is this my reflection?

Are these facial scars now my identity?

The people laughing at me
Feels like strangulation
It must’ve been the girl’s fault
What a disgrace!

Are these facial scars now my identity?

Let me tell you this, I will not admit defeat
My courage will not be broken, I am a strong woman!
My body and mind might have turned to ash
Everyday existence now, a battle to survive
I will be reborn from these ashes
And burn bright like a light in the dark storms

There’s a storm brewing inside, courage is taking flight
There is hope, perseverance is my identity
