[Verse]

             
I don't need t

              
o be anything 


other
       
Than a prison 

guard's son
             
I don't need t

              
o be anything 


other 
       
Than a special

ist's son
             
I don't have t

            
o be anyone ot

her
 
Than the birth

 of two souls 

in one
             
Part of where 

              
I'm going, is 

            
knowing where 

           
I'm coming fro

ace of mind
             
I'm tired of l

[Verse]

             
I'm surrounded

            
 by liars ever

         
ywhere I turn
             
I'm surrounded

            
 by imposters 

            
everywhere I t

urn

 by identity c

              
risis everywhe

Am I the only
