Let's not go pulling teeth I think I found my speed I think I'm in too deep
I've seen it in shades of red I think I've been misled I think I've been asleep
But after all this time I wonder why you can't just let it go
It's always on my mind You need to know You really need to know
I grew from a different seed Guess I'm a different breed Guess I should just secede
The colors we see aren't green Our idols are not obscene Our fire's not fueled by greed
But after all this time I'd think you'd know that I've been feeling low
It's always on my mind You need to know You really need to know
[Abdiel Singleton] How can you live a life of your own If you can't decide your destination How can you choose your own path If someone else keeps creating it And the only reason they told you To follow someone was because they were famous Because they provided the keys to freedom And they told you that you wouldn't make it If you didn't follow the tracks That was already planted Right when you thought There was no way to escape it I had to break formation In order to command it Even if it's dangerous I treated "no" like a foreign language I don't think I can understand it I don't think I can comprehend it This chip to surrender was never implanted So I took a step in restricted areas I didn't need my permission granted I sit in rooms with my posture slanted I won't even listen to my parents I'm the rebellion The brilliant alien that stands out From a million civilians Who now wouldn't dare to correct me Just because they don't know how to object me The can't control the strings on me I'm a different being They told me to stop right now But I only proceeded in what I was seeking Multiple directions is what I needed That's how I keep on dreaming In what's worth believing in Because I choose to believe it
But after all this time I'd love for you to know the wind just blows
It's always on my mind You need to know You really need to know
Let's not go pulling teeth I think I found my speed I think I'm in too deep
I've seen it in shades of red I think I've been misled I think I've been asleep
