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
