It crept up into your life
Now it’s shown itself to you
It’s shown you it’s true form.
Face it, look right at it.
If it’s going to take you anyway
Let it take you whole.
Don’t break down in the end
Stand tall, stand strong, remain yourself.
It wants you to break
It wants you to plea for mercy
To make it your god
Make it your all.
I say fuck it, fuck it all.
Go down with the ship
Go down with a smile.
If it wants to take you let it try
It’ll see you can’t be broken.
Let it come, let it find you waiting with a smile.
When something sinister, something dark, forces its way into your life, the instinct might be to turn away, to hide from it, to pretend it isn’t there. But deep down, you know that’s not an option. It’s shown itself to you now, in all its terrifying glory. There’s no more hiding, no more running. The only path forward is to face it head-on, to look it straight in the eye, and show it that you are unshakable.
It’s easy to crumble under the weight of fear, to let it erode your strength and strip away your resolve. But that’s exactly what it wants. Fear, doubt, pain—these forces thrive on your submission, on the cracks they can exploit in your armor. They want you to bow down, to give in, to let them rule over you. But you’re stronger than that. You’ve been through enough to know that breaking isn’t an option. You’ve seen what happens when you let fear control you, and you’ve vowed never to let it happen again.
There’s a certain defiance that comes from standing tall in the face of the inevitable. It’s a statement, a declaration that no matter what happens, you won’t be broken. You won’t be bent to the will of something that seeks to destroy you. Instead, you’ll face it with a smile, with the kind of strength that comes from knowing who you are and what you stand for. If it’s going to take you, then let it take all of you—every ounce of your courage, your resolve, your spirit.
This isn’t about denying the reality of the situation or pretending that it doesn’t affect you. It’s about choosing how you respond to it. You can’t always control what comes your way, but you can control how you meet it. And when you meet it with unflinching resolve, with a smile that says, “I’m not afraid,” you take away its power. You show it that it can’t break you, that it can’t reduce you to something less than who you are.
So when it comes, when it tries to take you down, let it find you waiting, ready. Ready to stand your ground, to face whatever comes with a smile that says you won’t be conquered. Let it know that if it’s going to take you, it will have to take you whole, because you won’t give up a single piece of yourself. You won’t break, you won’t plea, you won’t give in. You’ll go down with the ship if you have to, but you’ll do it on your own terms, with your head held high.
In the end, it’s not about winning or losing—it’s about maintaining your integrity, your sense of self, no matter what happens. It’s about proving to yourself that you’re stronger than whatever comes your way, that you can face it all and still remain unbroken. That’s the ultimate victory, the one that no one can take from you. So when it comes, let it come. You’ll be ready, and you’ll be smiling.
