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
It's over your head
Don't try to read between the lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of something you believe in
Takin' in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdogI've been trying
To justify you
In the end
I will just defy youTo those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I amNot under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am
Still running up hill
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 can not touch the way I play
Or tell me what to say
You're in the way
Of all that I believe inTakin' in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdogI've been wasting my breath on you
Open minds will descend upon youTo those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I amNot under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I amTo those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I amNot under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am
