Creating Myself

No one cares about your good intentions

The clock is just a hammer ticking down

Your paper crown is burning with convention

They always love to watch a good man drown

You can't rely on someone else's vision

Or hide inside their faded, safe design

It's time to make your very own decision

And finally draw your own damn battle line

It's funny how things change, I never cared about it

Now it's just the same, can't go a day without it

Now the tables turned, what a shame

I got the best of both worlds, creating myself

How long you gonna keep digging that hole

To bury everything that made you whole

You're treating old wounds with the same damn poison

Then blame your fate for drowning out the voices

You're looking for clues, you're looking for proof

Beneath the floorboards, crawling on the roof

But baby, let me tell you the simple truth

The monster in the mirror is just you

It's funny how things change, I never cared about it

Now it's just the same, can't go a day without it

Now the tables turned, what a shame

I got the best of both worlds, creating myself

You're locked in the basement, so what you gon' do

My greatest victory was simply walking away from you

And now I can't live without it

This quiet. In my head

I can't live without it

It's funny how things change, I never cared about it

Now it's just the same, can't go a day without it

Now the tables turned, what a shame

I got the best of both worlds, creating myself
