I Am My Own Master

Moving my head to the beat,

The head that’s so full of f**k,

Lip-syncing every word that I know by heart,

I know them all, I always have,

I feel the shiver of the pulse,

Of the music, traveling through my ears,

Into my body, making me move,

I pretend that I’m the singer, that I’m the writer,

I wrote this just for me, forget the rest of you,

You will not disrupt my world,

Get the Hell out of it,

I only make eye contact with the audience,

I am dancing for them, not for you,

My body is not for the taking,

I will take myself to another place,

Another world, I can’t be here,

I gotta move, I have to get out,

I will sing for nobody,

But myself
