A Story

Standing on the street on a cold morning
It's generic but it's where you found glory

Waiting for a cab but you can walk
Cause it's cold and the sunrise won't stop
You think looks are a deteriorating commodity

And I'm afraid to look at myself cause it seems self
hatred could be narcisism if You're still thinking about yourself
I'm good at the qualitative not the quantitative

So I'm forced to change with each doubt
It's not loosing freedom it's loosing convenience

And I've conveniently counted you out
It's clear that sometimes people don't choose evil
They mistake power for freedom

You're having a party with nothing to
celebrate because you don't even believe in kingdoms
Though they got castles and kings storming streets

Suffering long enough
To want others to suffer too
Jump the fence find the cafe on fourth avenue

To realise this evil isn't you
Cause people who suffer want other people to suffer and I
only want people to work within perimeters I can thrive in
A wolf in sheep's skin

It's not a mindset that you can stay alive in
If all you do is react to an enemy
and do what you think they will hate
You're letting them define you
because your soul still cannot break away

And you remember telling your mother if you don't like the road
I'm going down you don't have to follow me

She said: to be unique or to be one of a kind
does not mean you have to be alone in your feelings
Cause real confidence is a
willingness to be vulnerable in front of others

You provoke me and then when I react you play the victim
And then you hide under the covers
She said mom will always love you but

Right now I just don't like you
She replied knock on the door at any hour
Because in this house we will always welcome you

They say if you're good at something you
don't seem to care about what you're bad at and
The hardest loses in life are the ones that you cannot take back

We can be robbers of each other's time and fill our own consciousness
Freedom isn't free but liberty can be if you choose to believe it

We get stuck in this mindset
Where we say we love you so join us or we'll kill you
It's the safest bet

You're safe here as long as you lose your identity is another lie
that we're fed But honestly if there is a place where you can be you

In your purest form and love yourself as well as everyone around you
I hope you find it
Cause you deserve peace
