Search me for a flaw
I’m sure you’ll find a few
Deflect and project
This game is nothing new
If I’m thrown off balance
And stumble with the truth
What does that even mean
Does it change reality of youth
What if I didn’t cry in pain
Or even seem to care
What lines were crossed
When those lines I was unaware
And so were you a time or two
Maybe you could also say
I could empathize and say goodbye
But what is the excuse today
What about the thousand times
The lies and doubts to sell me out
The cruelty and the sneers
The shouting for your cheering crowd
Inch by inch you sew deceit
And use my place to fly
Hidden weapon to compete
The innocent don’t hide
You want their vote
To cast me down
I was born to float
You can keep this town
