Lyrics Who I am - 9Ø9

I am the
Villain I'm the hero, it all depends who you ask
I'm not real nor fake I just always wear a mask

I've shown my true colors to those who were color blind
Ridiculed and beaten caused my heart to be locked up in a bind

Those who really know me see the best of my soul
Those who think they do haven't even see me whole

Paranoia has me give only small pieces and bits
Like a puppy who can't tell if he's getting pet or hit

I'm sick and tired of being this way
It ends today and if you don't like it then get outta my way

Because
You can take me
And forsake me
Mutilate me
Flat out Break me

But you'll never change who I am

You can shake me
Desecrate me
Try and make me
Flat out hate me

This is where I'll forever stand
This is who I am

I'm never going back to living in fear
Worried if I'm liked or not is a thought that no longer lives here
Listen!

I'm on the attack
Listen!
I'll never again hold back

Of who I am and Who I'm supposed to be
I just wanna be free for all of eternity
Just live & die Authentically
Not apologize for just being me!

I'm am sick of living all these lies
Just to get approval in your misguided eyes

What's the damn purpose
If I feel is empty & worthless

My eyes have turned into rust
You don't like me? Well that makes two of us

You can take me
And forsake me
Mutilate me
Flat out Break me

But you'll never change who I am

You can shake me
Desecrate me
Try and make me
Flat out hate me

This is where I'll forever stand!
This is who I am

What do we do? Where do we go?
What do we say? Does anybody know?

How do I think? How do I change?
Was it me that was the problem or the world that's really strange

I can't see how,
I waited to be free now

I Can't see why
I could only go to heaven after I die

Depression is your body saying, 'I don't want to be this character anymore
I don't want To hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me

You can take me
And forsake me
Mutilate me
Flat out Break me

But you'll never change who I am
You can shake me
Desecrate me
Try and make me
Flat out hate me

This is where I'll forever stand
This is who I am
