Is this so wrong to chase the real me?

Is this so wrong to chase the real me?

Looking at the mirror, this is who I want to be?

Is this so wrong to chase the real me?

Looking at the mirror, this is who I want to be?

Catching the five AM bus back to cruel streets

Tears fall down my face as the engine repeats

Running away from the only safe place 

Sorry mom, I couldn't live how you wanted 

My whole life has been a circus of masks

Hiding the truth while fulfilling everyone's heavy tasks

Remembering age five, running around the old bend

Reading comic books, making the green trees my friend

I didn't know what defined my own name yet

But a corporate future is a trap already set

Refuse to let cars and houses control me

The emptiness will never set my soul free

Oh mom, I know your life was devastating too

Fighting every single day just to pull us through

Keeping meals on the table, keeping my world alive

Sacrificing your own dreams so I could survive

I just wish to express my shadow in mirror

To make the reflection look a little bit clearer

Keeping human for human as long as I breathe

Finding the lost sunshine in nature underneath

I need to find the light that I lost

To find my own path no matter the cost

I’m sorry for not wanting the life you wanted me to be

I’m sorry I have to fight, this is my only remedy

As I face myself in the mirror, this is who I want to be

As I face myself in the mirror, this is who I need to be

Is this so wrong to chase the real me?

Looking at the mirror, this is who I want to be?

Is this so wrong to chase the real me?

Looking at the mirror, this is who I want to be?
