I used to hope for help,
I thrived on pity like a whelp.
I waited for strong arms to carry me
through the currents of the sea.
I wanted my saviors to marry me,
but when they did, I had to flee.
What’s a man’s dream if he’s born
in a world without fathers?
Well, he’s gotta be his own
or should he rather wait, no,
All I need is self-respect
with no strings attached.
I will jump over my fears,
I’ll make the rules disappear.
No time to chase the dreams of others,
no love to satisfy all mothers.
I’ll never ask if you agree,
because I’m free.
“Boy, they will not let you
be the man you need to be.”
Well, friend, that’s not the point,
the point is: Who will stop me?
I will engage all lazy lies,
I will rise into the sky.
There’s no limit to my dreams
and no sorrow when I scream.
There is no sadness in my fate,
I will never hate.
Slit a hole into my mask,
pour the bad blood in my glass,
I will cleanse it through my veins,
then I will be free of pain.
