Warrior—-

Beth Crowley

Based on The Mortal Instrument series by Cassandra Clare

You fascinated me

Cloacked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully

Afraid of what you thought I'd be

But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand

I question who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain

The burn

Under my skin

Put me to the test 

I'll prove that I'm strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I Finally see what

You knew was inside me

All along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

My memory refused 

To separate the lies from truth

And search the past

My mind created

I kept on pushing through

Standing resolute which you

In equal measure

Loved and hated

You take me by the hand

I'm seeing who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain

The burn

Under my skin

Put me to the test 

I'll prove that I'm strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I Finally see what

You knew was inside me

All along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

Lies a warrior... 

You take me by the hand

I'm sure of who I am

Teach me how to fight

I'll show you how to win

You're my mortal flaw

And I'm your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting

The pain

The burn

Under my skin

Put me to the test 

I'll prove that I'm strong

Won't let myself believe

That what we feel is wrong

I Finally see what

You knew was inside me

All along

That behind this soft exterior

Lies a warrior

The pictures come to life 

Wake in the dead of night

Open my eyes

I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight

Brace myself for the fight

I've heard that seeing

Is believing.
