Approval

I'm going to shine so bright
A radiant light
That burns in your eyes
And at the end of this fight
The blood on my hands
Will prove that I'm right
I am the fruits of your labor
I am the sweat and blood you've shed
But am I anyone at all
That exists outside your head
Trying to fall within your favor
Forgetting the words I should have said
But is there anything to say
Or should I read your mind instead

I've had enough of your words
Time to write some of my own
Because I'm done with your advice
I'm gonna choose my own life
You've had your way with
What you say
And now it's time you were
On your way
Your bounds have grown beyond this town
And now I'm tearing it down

I'm going to shine so bright
A radiant light
That burns in your eyes
Can you see what I've become
Is it the best you could hope for
In trying to read between your lines
I find I don't care anymore
Trying to find just what you're after
Chasing my tail to no end
So I'll bring the end to you
I'm worn out from trying to pretend

I've had enough of your words
It's time to write some of my own
Because I'm done with your advice
I'm gonna choose my own life
You've had your way with
What you say
And now it's time you were
On your way
Your bounds have grown beyond this town
And now I'm tearing it down
Tearing it down

I'm going to shine so bright
A radiant light
That burns in your eyes
I've had enough of your words
Time to write some of my own
Because I'm done with your advice
I'm gonna choose my own life
You've had your way with
What I say
And now it's time I was
On my way
My bounds have grown beyond this town
And now I'm tearing them down
Tearing it down
