Gave it for the right to live peacefully To not make a scene But my voice is what's most dear to me And I fear not being able to sing Is it worth it to make such a sacrifice Am I strong enough to stop living a lie I just want to know what inner peace is like To not feel disconnected from who I am on the outside But it's not fair to have to choose The parts of me I'm willing to lose Why does it have to be this way I've prayed that God would make it go away I was born to stand out but all I want is to sit down To have a conversation with all who might keep me around But I was born on the outskirts and that's where I'll stay I'd walk to the mainland, but I'm always pushed away If I lie low in the shadows, they won't notice my different colors I'll buy some time to mix my paints and put on a layer of another Living in a costume because I don't want them to see That I don't live within their roles and all I am is me Is it worth it to make such a sacrifice Am I strong enough to stop living a lie I just want to know what inner peace is like To not feel disconnected from who I am on the outside But it's not fair to have to choose The parts of me I'm willing to lose Why does it have to be this way I've prayed that God would make it go away Sometimes if I'm squinting In the mirror, I'll see glimpses Of myself, of the man, I want to be Recordings I took long ago Make me realize my voice has gotten low Every day I sound a little more like me Gonna get this weight off my chest After that, I'll take my first real breath And my inner eye will match what I can see These changes always take me by surprise Bring up emotions not yet refined by time But with them a sense of familiarity like they were always meant to be I think it's worth it to make such a sacrifice I have the strength to start living my own life I just want to know what inner peace is like To not feel disconnected from who I am on the outside But it's not fair to have to choose The parts of me I'm willing to lose Why does it have to be this way I've prayed that God would make it go away I just want to know what inner peace is like To not feel disconnected from who I am on the outside But it's not fair to have to choose The parts of me I'm willing to lose Why does it have to be this way I've prayed that God would make it go away
