I've been looking for the questions
To the answers I've been fed
A banquet of lies
Digested with a smile
I'm a captive in a hole
I'm gracious in defeat
Take back the mic
Turn off the light I stole
You're the captain of your soul
The master of your fate
I dreamt of being like you
So pure. so clean. so whole.
I just need one more chance
To rinse my eyes
And wash away my blindness
Wash away my sadness
Wash my dependence
Wash away my fear
So I can give myself protection
When you put me down
So I can deal with disconnection
When I hit the ground
Get resistance to the infection
That you spread around
So I can declare my independence
