I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from


[Chorus]

       
 I don't want 

to be
            
Anything other

              
 than what I'v

       
e been trying 

to be lately
       
  All I have t

o do
            
Is think of me

              
 and I have pe

      
ace of mind
            
  I'm tired of

 
 looking 'roun

d rooms
          
Wondering what

 I've got to d

o
    
Or who I'm sup

posed to be
          
  I don't want

              
 to be anythin

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned


[Chorus]

       
 I don't want 

to be
