Don´t
Tell me what´s in
Tell me how to write
Don´t tell me how to win
This fight
Isn´t your life
It isn´t your right
To take the only thing that´s
Mine
Proven over time
It´s over your head
Don´t try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of
Something you believe in
Takin´ in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I´m on the outside
Living like the underdog
I´ve been trying to justify you
In the end I will just defy you
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won´t change to fit your plan, Take me as I am
As I am
Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren´t so
Fucked
Feels like I´m stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
´´Slow down,
You´re thinking too much
Where is your soul?´´
You cannot touch
The way I
Play
Or tell me what to say
You´re in the way
Of all that I believe in
Takin´ in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I´m on the outside
Living like the underdog
I´ve been wasting my breath on you
Open minds will descend upon you
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won´t change to fit your plan, take me as I am
Tell me what´s in
Tell me how to write
Don´t tell me how to win
This fight
Isn´t your life
It isn´t your right
To take the only thing that´s
Mine
Proven over time
It´s over your head
Don´t try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of
Something you believe in
Takin´ in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I´m on the outside
Living like the underdog
I´ve been trying to justify you
In the end I will just defy you
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won´t change to fit your plan, Take me as I am
As I am
Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren´t so
Fucked
Feels like I´m stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
´´Slow down,
