It's so hard these days to be yourself Originality collects like dust on a shelf I think that I've become part of this crime Like the less fortunate I've become blind No one knows me for me, I've buried the truth And my father always said be true to yourself But my fathers ashamed every day So much that his hairs gone grey So lustful not for beauty but for acceptance So much that human emotion is absent My friends now call me an acquaintance So I'll reflect on myself with words Words you'll hear in this song I can only put on a front and act calm But we all know that it won't last long Like father like son they say But my father is ashamed of me everyday Someone ignite the match and set me to flames So that I'll be the one to blame Because I am way off track This is not where I want to be And so I'll continue to sing Forget me just leave me I'll continue to live in this dream Times have changed and so have I Why can't I feel alive My life is a lie And so is yours We are a dying world
