Identity

(album: Found In Far Away Places - 2015)

Do you know how it feels to hide
with thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie.
Truth is, you can't decide where my heart resides.

You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick.
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am.
My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand
and cast aside from the man that I am.

I've never felt so free.
It kills me to hear you say you “choose to love me.”
I was hoping that would be a given, given our history.
I've never felt so free, so free

You think I'm wrong, you think I'm wrong
but I never felt better.

Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.
I thought blood was thicker than water.
You think I'm wrong but I never felt better. [2x]

I know I disappointed you,
but I've got nothing to prove.

You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick.
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am.
My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand,
but now I've realized this is who I am.
I've made my decision, you're either with or against me.

You're either with or against me. [2x]

Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.
I thought blood was thicker than water.
You think I'm wrong but I never felt better.

Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie.

I'm standing firm. It's who I am.
You can't keep me, you can't keep me down.
Iʼm moving on. I'm living free.
You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now. [2x]
