Don't tell me what's in
tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win
This fight isn't your life
It isn't your right
to take the only
thing that's mine
Proven over time
it's over your head
Don't try to read between
The lines are clearly defined
Never lose sight
of something you believe in
Taking in the view
from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been trying
to justify you
In the end I will
just defy you
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
take me as I am
As I am
Still running uphill
swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so fucked
Feels like I'm stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
Slow down
you're thinking too much
Where is your soul
You cannot touch the way I play
or tell me what to say
You're in the way
of all that I believe in
Taking in the view
from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been wasting
my breath on you
Open minds will
descend upon you
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
take me as I am
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
take me as I am
As I am
Yeah
As I am
