Letra de 'This Life Is Mine' de RWBY

Mirror, can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes
Tired of being treated like a pawn
But there’s a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong
That I can’t be strong

I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own
I let you be the keeper of my pride
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own
Listen when I say, I swear it here today
I will not surrender
This life is mine!

Amazing how you conquered me, chained me in servility and made me see
The world the way you told me to
But I was young and didn’t have a way to know the truth
Born to live your legacy
Existing just to fill your needs, a casualty
Of this so-called family that you have turned into a travesty
But I don’t intend to suffer any longer
Here’s where your dominion falls apart
I’m shattering the mirror that kept me split in pieces
That stood between my mind and heart
This is where I’ll start

I’m not your pet
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore
I won’t be possessed
Burdened by your royal test
I will not surrender
This life is mine

Shame that it took so long to rescue me
From the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree
I guess your training failed, you’re not in charge, I’m free
Your patriarchal prison won’t hold me
Now this conversation’s fin'ly over
Mirror, mirror now we’re done
I’ve pulled myself together now
My mind and heart are one
Finally one!

I’m not your pet
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore
I won’t be possessed
Burdened by your royal test
I will not surrender
This life is mine!
