If I hadn't lost this battle
Then I would be free
Instead of living within conformity
Wrecked by the yearning to flee
The standards are set
And measured by society
Label of crazy or insane
Are placed upon those who don't agree
Another lesson learned
Marking the pain of existence
The battles continue to rage
By our never ending persistence
Today I see the light of my path
Glowing from my evolution
A fight against mass acceptance
What I now call my revolution
Slam your fists against the grain
Destroying the ties that bind
Splintering a society of fear
Rebuilding a world which isn't blind
