Identity Songtext

von August Burns Red

Do you know how it feels to hide?
With thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie
Truth is, you can't decide where my heart resides

You want to cure me of this epidemic
You call me sick. I wish I had said it
The words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand
And cast aside, cast aside, from the man that I am

I've never felt so free
And it kills me, to hear you say you "choose to love me"
I was hoping that would be a given, given our history
I've never felt so free, so free
You think I'm wrong, you think I'm wrong
But I never felt better

Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I'm wrong but I never felt better

I know I disappointed you
But I've got nothing to prove

You want to cure me of this epidemic
You call me sick. I wish I had said it
The words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand
But now I've realized this is who I am, I am
I've made my decision
You're either with or against me Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I'm wrong but I never felt better
Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie

I'm standing firm. It's who I am, who I am
You can't keep me, You can't keep me down
I?m moving on. I'm living free, living free
You can?t stop me, you can't stop me now
