some live for a word of acceptance
i live for a truth of my own
i hear all the words of resistance
and i let em fade til i'm all alone

if i'd known from the very start
that inner strength would set me apart
would i choose what's more profound
and cast my burdening anchor down

some give for the sake of the reward
and i give too much for my own good
sometimes i only feel like giving up
some want what they cannot have
some have everything that they want
and then there's me, the one that no one wants

if i'd known from the very start
that inner strength would set me apart
would i choose what's more profound
and cast my burdening anchor down

those lies before your eyes
why doesn't anybody see
and if i had the heart to show them
it just might bleed on the fires below them

there i stand alone
the consequence of what i know
no looking back, no turn around
no taking back what i have found

if they had known from the very start
that their mistakes would tear me apart
then no one would ever shed one tear
as the crimson fire starts to smear

*basically saying i understand things that some ppl are too shallow to not be ignorant to...and ppl look at me and ostracize me because of how i am different in that way...if i had known it would be this way would i have still chosen this path?
