This Is Me - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm not a stranger to the dark

"Hide away", they say

"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars

"Run away", they say

"No one'll love you as you are", but

Won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be

This is me

Look out 'cause here I come

And I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum

I'm not scarеd to be seen, I make no apologies

This is mе

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skin

Well, fire away 'cause today

I won't let the shame sink in

We are burstin' through the barricades

Reachin' for the sun (We are warriors)

Yeah, that's what we've become

Won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down (Eh, eh, eh)

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out (Eh, eh, eh)

I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be

This is me

Look out 'cause here I come (Eh, eh, eh)

And I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum (Eh, eh, eh)

I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies

This is me
