A Predetermined Outcome

I wanna be me
I want to be more than you can see
I wanna be cast out and burned upon the stake
Do I carry it well, or does it look a little heavy?

It'd be nice not to feel so broken
So nice not to feel so numb
Is life just an endless burden?
Or a predetermined outcome?

'Cause each day is colder
The nights linger long
And each day is harder
I'm this close to losing touch

'Cause each day is colder
The nights linger long
Like the weight of the world has pushed to the bone
I won't make it back this time

I wanna be me
I want to be more than you can see
I wanna be cast out and burned upon the stake
Do I carry it well?
Or does it look a little heavy?
'Cause it just feels that way to me
(Way to me)

I don't want to play the victim
I don't wanna burden you
But I've screamed for help until my throat hurts
And no one's listening
And no one's listening
And no one's listening

I wanna be me
I want to be more than you can see
I wanna be cast out and burned upon the stake
Do I carry it well, or does it look a little heavy?
'Cause it just feels that way to me
(Way to me)

But I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
To stand a little taller
But I'm only falling further

I wanna be me
I want to be more than you can see
I wanna be cast out and burned upon the stake
But do I carry it well, or does it look a little heavy?
'Cause it just feels that way to me

I wanna be me
I want to be more than you can see
I wanna be cast out and burned upon the stake
But do I carry it well, or does it look a little heavy?
'Cause it just feels that way to me
