It began when I was young There was no earthly limitation To my wondrous world so spacious I had hope, and I had worth Another newborn workaholic In this long life of gestation, well Now let's be honest This I swear This world isn't what I was told So be prepared For illicit futures you'll never know Not meant for this world I think we should go But I have to be What they wanna see And every passing second Seems like another day gone by Am I living in this moment? Or sitting here to wonder Why oh why oh why Do I try? Time and time again Am I looking for atonement? Or burning out to my wits end? Now let's be honest I don't care No one said that life would play fair And in this remembrance I have learned I sit and I stare as the whole world burns And I have to be What they wanna see I'm a tiny hopeless star so bright And I'll only know What "they" wanna show I can't think for myself no right No right And it'll end When I am dead Will I forsake the life I lead A dollar short of normalcy I had a chance To make a dent A mistake you'd best believe A beautiful catastrophe Cause I have to be What they wanna see I'm a tiny hopeless star so bright And I'll only know What they wanna show I can't think for myself No right No right
