about

Contains a sample of Helen Keller

lyrics

Have you had to exist as the composite definition of // Externalized perceptions of your value based in contribution? // You become more than tired // Of what you’re told you can’t do // By those who made you ashamed // Of the pulse that you retain // And if they ask if you’re all right, you have to lie // I can’t change the world I’m in // By not livin the life I’d end // I’m far from the person I was but // Not still the one I’ll become // I’m too well adjusted to loss // To find myself concerned with the cost // I’m not still the person I was but // Far from the one I’ll become // To be subjugated in your skin // Is having to be told you’ll // Amount to nothing by a world // In which you are forced to live // You’re stripped of your autonomy // And you’re made to be patient // When you’re taught your only freedom // Is to find relief in death // I’m not “all right,” and I’m not going to lie to thank your supremacy anymore // I can’t change the world I’m in // By not livin the life I’d end // I’m far from the person I was but // Not still the one I’ll become // I’m too well adjusted to loss // To find myself concerned with the cost // I’m not still the person I was but // I’m proud of who I’ve become
