The Price
I've embraced it with no regrets at all
But now my sorry eyes are blind.
The tears creeping up my throat
As I see what I've left behind.
I used to be oblivious
Nothing was ever fired my way.
Now it seems, they're on a destruct mission
Target me every day.
Is it so wrong to be different?
To have wild hair with a matching laugh?
To listen to music that explains my life
And only wearing black?
Why should I be punished this way?
For not pushing away the truth.
Yet my innocence has been snatched
By the unregarding youth.
I enjoy my ways of scaring them
But it's when they bring me down.
When I look up, I see that lonliness
Is the only thing around.
I'm a sacrifice, a victim
I'm the target for them once again.
No matter how much I hate and refuse
I'm always the prey.
I'm in love with being different
I'm perfectly happy this way.
The only part I wish I could change
Is the price I have to pay.
But now my sorry eyes are blind.
The tears creeping up my throat
As I see what I've left behind.
I used to be oblivious
Nothing was ever fired my way.
Now it seems, they're on a destruct mission
Target me every day.
Is it so wrong to be different?
To have wild hair with a matching laugh?
To listen to music that explains my life
And only wearing black?
Why should I be punished this way?
For not pushing away the truth.
Yet my innocence has been snatched
By the unregarding youth.
I enjoy my ways of scaring them
But it's when they bring me down.
When I look up, I see that lonliness
Is the only thing around.
I'm a sacrifice, a victim
I'm the target for them once again.
No matter how much I hate and refuse
I'm always the prey.
I'm in love with being different
I'm perfectly happy this way.
The only part I wish I could change
Is the price I have to pay.
