Never Fit In

Never Fit In

Play the expected roles or never fit in

Society's high-and-mighty command

Must be followed until the very end

Can't dispute socially prescribed

Politically correct endeavors of the modern man

That's why I keep having troubles

Because I never fit in

Apathetic force of bad habits cut like splintered shards

It's become a living, mind twisting, hard-wired reaction

To everybody else's actions that is tearing me apart

Society's condemnation leaves me reeling, yet I keep on feeling

Through this mass of festering wounds and unseen scars

Still my heart keep right on beating, no matter how callous people are

I tried learning to speak in stereotypical sterilized phrases

Only to find that I hated reciting those tactful little white lies

I just can't find from what I'm feeling inside

So "why bother trying" has become the gospel I'll live by

Feel like I'm blazing a pathway so twisted and long

Because I've got no map to rely on

What can I say? Guess I have to pay for ignorantly living my life all wrong

So time after time, I'll find myself fighting to not get stomped upon

Since I don't belong
