What's so special about me,
if I'm as special as you?
Well for starters, I'm as busy as a bee.
Oh...You too?
I think I'm pretty grand
I've seen your favorite band
I have a lot of stuff
I can call out any bluff
I'm pleasing to the eye
but don't look because I'm shy
I may care for my looks
but I never read my books
So don't judge me by my cover
I might stick around and hover
Damnit, now you think I'm dumb
and I live like such a bum
Have yet to work from rags to rich
Got used to the label, so now I'm a bitch
I swear I haven't always been so apathetic
but my own depression became an epidemic
I always felt like a blackbird instead of a sheep
I thought my wings were broken, no way to make the leap
Can I make it if I have no backbone?
Does it matter if I stand out when I feel so alone?
Maybe I act big because I feel so small
I'm afraid of the yelling, so I avoid the call
Yeah, what I'm scared of is kinda backward
even turned into my own attacker
There must be something missing, I just need a lot of help
Can't someone hear me every single time that I yelp
How can you claim to be saved when you're more lost than me
I may not know where the lock is, but at least I have a key.
I know I shouldn't compare
our own wear and tear
but even my strife
saved my damn life
How can I start a revolution
if I don't know my own solution
This fear is not okay
It's time to seize the day
In this moment, it's clear to me
It's not my mission to just be
I gotta take the steps forward
escape from the horror
I'll put down the dope
I'll be a symbol of hope
I can't be so carefree
No more me me me
Because if we've all been lost and hurt
found some gems amongst the dirt...
we really are more connected than polar
only thing wrong is who became the controller
I listen to my heart to quiet the chatter
I think I get it now I am still unique
So special, it doesn't matter
If light and love is what we seek.
