Feel  no pain, but my life ain't easy.. I  know I'm my best friend..
No  one cares, but I'm so much stronger.. I'll  fight until the end..
To  escape from the true false world.. Undamaged  destiny..
Can't  get caught in the endless circle.. Ring  of stupidity..
Out  for my own, out to be free..
One  with my mind, they just can't see..
No  need to hear things that they say..
Life's  for my own to live my own way..

Rape  my mind and destroy my feelings.. Don't  tell me what to do..
I  don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side.. And  I can see through you..
Feed  my brain with your so called standards.. Who  says that I ain't right..
Break  away from your common fashion.. See  through your blurry sight..
Out  for my own, out to be free..
One  with my mind, they just can't see..
No  need to hear things that they say..
Life's  for my own to live my own way..
