lyrics

Verse 1: Seein' my hoop dream dyin' and my grandfather passin' / made me the definition of a heartless bastard / Friends equal pain and family disdain / They don't love you for you unless you're who they want you to be / Immune to group think, can't not be me / Rather lead in agony than follow the sheep in peace / With each day that passes, it looks like the grass is / greener on the other side where they're out to pasture / The load I carry's massive, I'm aggressively passive / I'd ask 'em to walk in my shoes, but knew they couldn't last it / Always had a passion but it never made me happy / Just gas to fuel a fire a size they couldn't fathom / And when that fire burned down all that surrounded / my life it enticed me to look inward with malice / Think positive and good things will happen / or succumb to negativity and watch the chain reaction
(Hook)
Verse 2: Stand on my own two feet, always an individual / Proof bein' strong can still make you miserable / Lookin' in the mirror, feelin' so cynical / Thinkin' back to when I thought I was invincible / Unforgettable, don't let anyone limit you / Do it to the death and when it's dead become spiritual / 'Cause when you stop doin' all the things you used to do / are you still chasin' that dream or is it chasin' you / Irreplaceable, the only thing relatable / is what you want most always escapin' you / Unanswered prayers make you question who you're prayin' to / Everybody gotta say what they would do if they were you / Expect you to change so they change what they expect of you / but you stay the same so you blame them for changin' too / and remain estranged from either point of view / It's either suffer or they suffer from you
(Hook)
