I HAD NO VIOCE, BUT I LISTENED

WHO KNEW I’D YEARN TO BE NOTHING LIKE YOU

MY REFLECTION LAUGHS AT ME

AS ECOED VOICES UNLIKE MY OWN

YOU’VE SHOWN ME HOW TO HATE

HOW TO USE AND BE USED

ABUSED TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN

I’VE LIVED AND LEARNED

YOU’VE SHOWED ME HOW TO LOVE SO HARD I’M BLIND AND MUTE

INSLAVED BY MY OWN SELFLESSNESS

LOVING TO THE POINT OF SELF HATRED

MY SIGHT MUTES MY HEARING

MY EYE’S DESERT MY EARS

YOUR LIFESTYLE IS MY BIGGEST FEAR

SPOKEN LOUDER THEN OFTEN

SMACK AFTER SMACK

INFACT…

I YEARN TO BE NOTHING LIKE YOU, BUT WHO KNEW MY REFLECTION WOULD LOOK JUST LIKE YOU

BUT I’M NOT YOU

YOUR BIGGEST FAILER IS MY INSPIRATION

YOUR MISTAKES ARE MY STEPPING STONES

YOUR PAST IS EXACTLY THAT

THE PAST

BUT I HAVE MOVED PASSED HATING YOU TO PITTYING YOU

I HATE THAT I LOVE A FOOL

I’VE MOVED PASSED THE STOOL

YOU CONSTANTLY DROOL

TO SAY OLD THINGS DON’T CHANGE

BUT, LIKE A MUEL, I KEEP PACKING ON DOWN THE ROAD TO MY DESTINY

MY DESTINY IS NOT YOURS, BUT MY OWN

I’M ALL OUT OF EXCUSES

YOUR WORDS ARE USELESS

MOTIONLESSLY MUTED

I’M UNDISPUTTED 

A CHAMPIAN 

I CAN’T BE IN UR MESS ANYMORE 

I FEEL LIKE AN EMOTIONAL HORE 

INJECTED ERECTLY WITH YOUR MISORY, I QUIT 

I YEARN TO BE NOTHING LIKE YOU

I’M NOTHING LIKE YOU 

I CHOOSE NOT TO BE A FOOL
