Half Like You
What makes me so different from them?
I'm half of what you hate
And half of what you tolerate
What makes you so sure I'm not the
Savage you insist my father was
Before your kind forced him away
Just another day of no belonging
Just another night of fear and longing
For a single day without the feeling that I'm gonna break
Half my life
I live under suspicion
Victim of tunnel vision
I don't know what else I have to prove
Half my life
You say I'm only faking
You say I'm beyond saving
But remember I'm half like you
If I'm the one who's told to walk away
And keep a calmer head
Why can't you ever do the same?
I come here wielding neither axe or sword
But if my words are cutting deep
Then it's not me who is to blame
Just another day of no belonging
Just another night of fear and longing
For a single day without the feeling that I'm gonna break
Half my life
I live under suspicion
Victim of tunnel vision
I don't know what else I have to prove
Half my life
You say I'm only faking
You say I'm beyond saving
But remember I'm half like you
Half human but twice the man
Try to keep calm but I don't know if I can
Should it be up to me to prove them wrong
But I don't know why I even try to belong
It's useless to show what I'm not
If I barely know what I am
It's hard to feel like I'll never be home
When this city is all I have
I'll never be what you think I should be
But I'm not what you think I am
I can be what you think if you want me to be
But you're not gonna like it
You're not gonna like it
I'm half of what you hate
And half of what you tolerate
What makes you so sure I'm not the
Savage you insist my father was
Before your kind forced him away
Just another day of no belonging
Just another night of fear and longing
For a single day without the feeling that I'm gonna break
Half my life
I live under suspicion
Victim of tunnel vision
I don't know what else I have to prove
Half my life
You say I'm only faking
You say I'm beyond saving
But remember I'm half like you
If I'm the one who's told to walk away
And keep a calmer head
Why can't you ever do the same?
I come here wielding neither axe or sword
But if my words are cutting deep
Then it's not me who is to blame
Just another day of no belonging
Just another night of fear and longing
For a single day without the feeling that I'm gonna break
Half my life
I live under suspicion
Victim of tunnel vision
I don't know what else I have to prove
Half my life
You say I'm only faking
You say I'm beyond saving
But remember I'm half like you
Half human but twice the man
Try to keep calm but I don't know if I can
Should it be up to me to prove them wrong
But I don't know why I even try to belong
It's useless to show what I'm not
If I barely know what I am
It's hard to feel like I'll never be home
When this city is all I have
I'll never be what you think I should be
But I'm not what you think I am
I can be what you think if you want me to be
But you're not gonna like it
You're not gonna like it
