Pride

Pride

Verse 1

I don't wanna go where you wanna go

Leave me alone - I'll do things on my own

You haven't got a clue about what I think and know

You've foolishly convinced yourself that you do

A self-appointed monarch with fictional power

Your fake reign may last for endless hours

I've got a crown of my own

Which I've built and will wear proudly

Verse 2

Far from being wise and out of touch

Your fantasy mode is limitless

Another world - a world of your making

Will eventually crumble to the ground

I'll be far away from your madness

Your self-destruction won't impact me

I've got an armour of my own

Which I've built and will wear proudly

Verse 3

I was once confused about who I was

And I acted carelessly in the process

Ignorance was the predominant state of mind

My views on reality were compromised

I believed in lies, was easily manipulated

Essentially, I was a robot

My thoughts and emotions were artificially implanted

And were, ultimately, used to control me

I've shed the old skin that I was living in

The new one which I display is worn proudly

Chorus

Inside my bones, inside my heart

Every breath I take is full of pride

Everything I see, all that which I experience

Is full of p-r-i-d-e
