to yourself be true



can you say you've been true to yourself?
or have you become one with the faceless masses?
do you realize you have the right to be who you are?
or did you choose to just conform and go with the norm?

i know i've faced so much
i stood up to the superficial
i chose to stand out from the crowd
and for that i've become stronger

do you have the courage to deviate?
the courage to face the misguided hate?
it's not a crime to break free
to live your life and be who you want to be

i've survived their judgement
we all know who they are
they fear what they don't understand
but they don't care to try to learn

i don't give a fuck about what they think
i've spent all my life worrying if i'd fit in
i realized that's not who i am
i've the will to be different

gather the courage to fight for your freedom
rebel against their corporate empires
end the 'total request live' brainwashing
don't let anyone make you in their image
look in the mirror, that's who you are, and no one else
to yourself be true
