about

This song is about standing up for things that are obviously true but are unpopular to say (i.e. the definitions of man and woman). We need people who are "strong enough to break" from the conventional talking points, and from the lies that have permeated our culture.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting here in silence with an unsuspecting crowd
Don’t go off script, don’t question it, stop thinking things out loud
There’s always someone lying, and it’s always on a screen
I switch it off to find the world reflecting everything

[Pre-chorus 1]
Are you strong enough
Are you strong enough to break
Are you strong enough
Are you strong enough to break

[Verse 2]
To live a life of comfort, of unending luxury
Everything is safe except we’ve lost identity

[Pre-chorus 2]
You say I have to listen, oh you’re telling me to care
(Are you strong enough to reason, are you strong enough to break)
No one wants to say it, who will be the first to take the fall?

[Chorus]
Take it, sacrifice before they try and make you bend
Say it, say it all to get your soul back in the end
Wake up, don’t give in to anything that they demand
Take it, courage finds you when you take the stand

[Verse 3]
A hundred burning people show up yelling at the door
The things I knew were always true don’t make sense anymore
Everything inside of me is pushed under the fray
Should I give in while washing all my sanity away

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh are you strong enough
Are you strong enough to break
When will it be long enough
How much longer will it take

[Guitar solo]

Someone has to say it, give us someone who will take the fall

[Chorus]
Take it, sacrifice before they try and make you bend
Say it, say it all to get your soul back in the end
Wake up, don’t give in to anything that they demand
Take it, courage finds you when you take the stand

Take it, take it
Say it, say it
Wake up, wake up
Take it, courage finds you when you take the stand
