Climbing Ideals - The Provenance

In your eyes, am I so different

Am I so hard to understand?

I’m against the norm, you’re indifferent

Is that a reason to hang me high?

I’ve lived the guilt you all gave me

And I have seen it through

I’ve learned you can’t exclude me

Even if the norm is you

Don’t count me out, it’s just your ego speaking

Don’t drag me down, I’ll just climb up again

I have lived the shame of not being

Someone who fits in your world

No more;

I won’t go back there!

So I can die like a part of your herd

I’ve learned you can’t exclude me

Even if the norm is you

I’ve learned you can’t delude me;

My field of vision has grown wider too

You’d better watch out cause

You’ve crossed the wrong path

Stay the hell away or

I’ll be sure to show you wrath

Step out from your fantasy

And meet the real world;

It’s not your usual playground

For your pitiful herd

Now, leave me be, leave me here to make my peace

Set me free, I’ll show no fear for this release

Can’t you see, can’t you see I’m dying here?

Let it bleed, I was meant to climb ideals

Don’t count me out, it’s just your ego speaking

Don’t drag me down, I’ll just climb up again
