they told me not to come here
as i would lose my way clear
they told me not to stray far
i would be the last straw
i gave my best to fit into the plan
just to move aside and miss again
i stopped to feel
they told me not to speak loud
explained that i should be proud of
the things that i was born with
can not hold up to scorn with
i gave my best to fit into the corner
just to be a parasite and mourn her
i stopped to feel
the told me not to mourn here
i would catch a thorn here
told me not to fight fair
i would have no right there
told me how to run far
i would just be sub par
and i stopped to feel
and if there's anything left
it will wither and die
wither and i know
and if there's anything left
it will wither and die
wither and i know
