Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write

Don't tell me how to win
This fight
Isn't your life

It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's
Mine


Proven over time
It's over your head

Don't try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined

Never lose sight of
Something you believe in


Takin' in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I'm on the outside

Living like the underdog

I've been trying to justify you

In the end I will just defy you

To those who understand, I extend my hand

To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am


As I am


Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current

I wish I weren't so
$#&@ed
Feels like I'm stuck

Lost in a sea of mediocrity

'Slow down,

You're thinking too much
Where is your soul?'
You cannot touch

The way I
Play
Or tell me what to say

You're in the way
Of all that I believe in


Takin' in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I'm on the outside

Living like the underdog
I've been wasting my breath on you
Open minds will descend upon you


To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am

Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am
