Lyrics

Give me something original

Without direction defined

Unmarked by fame and fortune

In one frozen moment in time


That would flow without funding

Always just before its prime

Neglecting hungry masses

That the mid-kids won't find


Give me something original

A stone reminder we're alive

That people don't subscribe to

A new dissection of mind


Leaping flare and fashion

And coloring outside the lines

With the feeling that it's not for others

A shining light above the blind


When we're always told what to do

We can't learn to be ourselves

When the times are always changing

We're told act more like someone else


When we're afraid to face our face

And we can never be too much alike

We refuse to be told what is talent

We refuse be told what we like


Looking for truth

In the pit of your lies

I sift through this façade

Just what will I find?


Because you won't show me

I must dig deep inside

You want to be found

And I can hear your cries


You're lonely and suffocating

Beneath this weight

Of orchestrated conformity

And predictable parades


Frustration is building

I'm not seeing what is true

But I'll know who you are

When I find the real you


When we're always told what to do

We can't learn to be ourselves

When the times are always changing

And we're told act more like someone else


When we're afraid to face our face

And we can never be too much alike

We'll refuse to be told what is talent

We'll refuse be told what we like


I met the masters of popular culture

The conductors of commercial fair

I'd abide processions for which alters were erected

And convinced myself they care


I polished idols that some think they love

And placed them on their proper shelf

I drank the water that souls pursued

But I never discovered myself


Inside the circle, I'm just matter in motion

Around a magnetic heart in a predictable pattern

Outside the circle, I'm a speeding comet

Undeterred by other forces, determination incarnate


Prisoner or prophet, communal or conflict

I'm the flickering flash of a thousand sonnets

Searching for something that no one can name

Untethered to roots and growing less tame


Stalking footprints that I discover are my own

They shatter, like mirrors, the old beliefs I condoned

With one eye on the prize and one on the trail

And this sturdier footing, I'm less likely to fail


Some dreams will come true, revealing identity

If undistracted by sights of poisonous berries

Deep in this unknown, I may lose the fear

Unearthing a place where the path becomes clear


When we're always told what to do

We can't learn to be ourselves

When the times are always changing

And we're told act more like someone else


When we're afraid to face our face

And we can never be too much alike

We'll refuse to be told what is talent

And refuse be told what we like
