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'll refuse to be told what is talent We'll 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
