about

SCENE: Candyce's loft.

Candyce awakens in a daze and summons Mario with a text message. While waiting for him she reflects on how it all happened and vows she will never again be the victim of physical abuse at the hands of a man.

lyrics

Defiance
(Candyce)

I’m weightless, fateless, numb

The hands of a man
were assigned to me
just to remind me
of what I’ve become

Choices killed by voices
in my head
Screaming
‘Down, woman, down’

I was a baby
teething on barbed wire
I was a fool
toying with magnesium fire

I was a gambler
who should have known
that she would have to pay
When trading her kiss for money in fists
with her life in those same greedy hands

Couldn’t admit it was wrong
even when it was so, so wrong
for me to play along

Thank you for the education
in flesh for capital gain

The credit for that wisdom is yours
though I cannot speak your name

Rising in my bloodstained gown
on graduation day

The ballerina dancing on your blade
is now armed and unafraid

This malignant spite
dissolving in my sight
I defy your terror
ruthlessly

Your cruelty screams
to no reply
You must know now that I
I with no defense will taste
sweet victory

Hatred for you
is my benedictory
and now I
I with no defense
will taste
sweet victory
