Say You Will
Eva Under Fire Lyrics

Empty windows
Despite an absence of light or life, we continue to exist and persevere.

We shine through the scars we
Although we are marked by pain, we emanate hope and purpose.

Remember broken glass
Our experiences of shattered illusions and false promises are a testament to our resilience.

We are who we are
Our identity and worth are not defined by those who seek to tear us down.

You know not of whom you speak
Your ignorance and arrogance blinds you to the truth of our character and worth.

In your arrogance all your ignorance
Your misplaced confidence in your own superiority is based on a lack of insight and understanding.

Shows its face
Your ignorance is blatant and evident.

And it claims you
Your blindness to the truth holds you captive and prevents you from growing beyond your own self-interest.

It claims the right to everything
Your arrogance demands access to everything, without regard for the rights or dignity of others.

It sets fire to what you've built
Your self-serving actions ultimately destroy the fragile architecture of your own creation.

Everything you love
What you hold dear and meaningful is ultimately lost to your own ignorance and pride.

Everything you live for
Your existence is based on a false foundation, constructed of lies and illusions.

Is gone now
The world you thought you knew and controlled no longer exists.

And you know this
Deep down, you understand the impact of your misguided actions and harmful words.

But you're never coming home
You cannot return to what was, nor will you find solace or redemption in your current state of mind.

Follow the streetlights down
There is a path to redemption and healing, but it requires humility and a willingness to acknowledge the harm you've caused.

Try and look again
Reflect on the past with an open mind and seek to understand your role in its events.

See what could have been
Imagine a different outcome, one where you acted with kindness, empathy, and compassion.

Say you will
Make a commitment to change and growth, to stepping outside of your comfort zone and embracing a new path.

Now you know what you've done
You can no longer deny or minimize the harm you've caused to others.

and you tell all your lies
Your attempts to rewrite history or spin the narrative are transparent and offensive.

then you cover it up
You seek to conceal the truth and hide behind a façade of perfection or success.

then you shove it aside
Your indifference and lack of remorse solidify your status as an unrepentant abuser.

We ran in the sunlight
Our joyful moments and memories are a reminder of what is possible when we treat ourselves and others with kindness and respect.

Never let a word they said
We refused to be defined by the negative opinions or expectations of others.

Echo in our heads
We did not allow the past to define or confine us, instead choosing to forge our own path forward.

But you know
You are fully aware of what you've done and the harm you've caused, despite your outward bravado.

Yeah you know that they're all for show
Your supposed success or prestige is built on a foundation of deception and lies.

Still you lie to my face and you turn me away
You actively avoid acknowledging the harm you've caused or listening to the experiences of those you've hurt.

But you told me that you wouldn't go
Your words of support and loyalty were empty and insincere, revealing your true character.

Now it's over again
Your pattern of abuse and manipulation has played out once more.

and you play your pretend but you're never coming home
You continue to create a false façade of success and happiness, but it cannot cover up the damage you've caused.

For every haunting memory
Even the painful memories can have value and meaning, as they shape us and inform our future actions.

Is a smile worth remembering
In the midst of pain and sorrow, there are moments of joy and hope that are worth cherishing and holding onto.

Don't you turn your back on yesterday
It is tempting to try and forget or ignore the past, but this only perpetuates the cycle of harm and injustice.

Hide from it and it never goes away
We cannot truly move forward until we confront and process the traumas and injustices of our past.
