Album: Independent
I’m tired of the games we play
I’m cashing in my chips today
And while I have my sanity
I’m taking what is close to me
I still have my integrity
My honor and my pride
These are things you cannot take
So don’t waste your time
I’m tires of things I wouldn’t do
I’m tired of things I wouldn’t say
I’m tires of all the pleasantries
It’s all a part of the game we play
Now I see
I cannot be what isn’t me Now I know
I’m not part of the bigger show
Now I feel
The person I am is truly real
So to you
I have revealed my basic truth
A trying thing this life we lead
Some obscured reality
A constant fight for privacy
To preserve my sanity
What you’ve got’s not what you see
Perspectives change from you to me Is this what your trying to be
A mirror of society once inside the looking glass
Colors fade so very fast
Who are you, do you know
Or just a face for the freakshow
Now I see
I cannot be what isn’t me Now I know
I’m not part of the bigger show
Now I feel
The person I am is truly real
So to you
I have revealed my basic truth
A trying thing this life we lead
Some obscured reality
A constant fight for privacy
To preserve my sanity
What you’ve got’s not what you see
Perspectives change from you to me Is this what your trying to be
A mirror of society once inside the looking glass
Colors fade so very fast
Who are you, do you know
Or just a face for the freakshow
Now I see
I cannot be what isn’t me Now I know
I’m not part of the bigger show
Now I feel
The person I am is truly real
So to you
I have revealed my basic truth
