Lyrics

In your eyes, am I so different
Am I so hard to understand?
I'm against the norm, you're indifferent
Is that a reason to hang me high?
I've lived the guilt you all gave me
And I have seen it through
I've learned you can't exclude me
Even if the norm is you
Don't count me out, it's just your ego speaking
Don't drag me down, I'll just climb up again

I have lived the shame of not being
Someone who fits in your world
No more; I won't go back there!
So I can die like a part of your herd
I've learned you can't exclude me
Even if the norm is you
I've learned you can't delude me;
My field of vision has grown wider too

You'd better watch out cause
You've crossed the wrong path
Stay the hell away or
I'll be sure to show you wrath
Step out from your fantasy
And meet the real world;
It's not your usual playground
For your pitiful herd

Now, leave me be, leave me here to make my peace
Set me free, I'll show no fear for this release
Can't you see, can't you see I'm dying here?
Let it bleed, I was meant to climb ideals
Don't count me out, it's just your ego speaking
Don't drag me down, I'll just climb up again
