I let my family down!
They don't approve of me!
I shall not wear the crown!
This truth is plain to see!
_________________________________________________
I sing my songs, embrace things unknown
This life is not my own
I stand in awe and lose myself
In the infinite drone
Disapproval all around, but I won't let it get me down
Born into freedom, gradually slipped into bondage somewhere along the way
Now the slippage is reversing and what is naturally mine is returning
I don't wanna run or hide anymore
From the face in the mirror or the knock on the door
I know that all is well
There's no such thing as hell
Thoughts and prayers are my bread-and-butter
I want to do nothing less than the greatest good in every perceived segment of the eternal present
I sing my songs, embrace things unknown
This life is not my own
I stand in awe and lose myself
In the infinite drone
