While You Criticize Me

I ask myself Why must I follow the blind Are these lies just fogging their mind This path of devastation That’s filled with lies of infestation Is just right in front of you This is just too sick to be true But even if I try to turn away Nothing will be good enough that I say Everyone will just push me back I need to build up the courage that I lack To say that this is insanity You think your right And that your following the light While you criticize me You’re innocence is all that you see But every step you take is leading you away From the Truth! This frustration is killing me While you criticize me! Is it too much to ask Or is it too big a task To just let me be All your faults I can now see Why can’t I just be myself today! These lies that your saying Are clearly just fading They are just too far from the truth I need to get out of your loop I don’t mind being different If it takes me away from YOU! You think your right And that your following the light While you criticize me You’re innocence is all that you see But every step you take is leading you away From the Truth! This frustration is killing me While you criticize me! You wish I would synchronize to you Everyone else will just do as you do So all you can do is sigh Because I won’t shrink up and DIE! Watching everyone follow you is just sick It’s just like a blind man trusting his stick Now they are heading to their doom While I’m safe in my room! You think your right And that your following the light While you criticize me You’re innocence is all that you see But every step you take is leading you away From the Truth! This frustration is killing me While you criticize me! I’m free of your bondage No more insanity I’ve escaped this nightmare Of living in your shadows Now I have found the Truth! Because I got away from YOU! Criticize me It doesn’t matter what you say Criticize me I’m not following your ways Criticize me I’m different in every single way Criticize me Because I’ve found the truth! You think you’re right And that you’re following the light While you criticize me Your innocence is all that you see But every step you take is leading you away From the Truth! This frustration is killing me While you criticize me While you criticize me While you criticize me While You Criticize You Criticize Criticize Me!

I am currently enjoying how you play with the lyrics and the rhymes, however this is the only warning I give you, you have repeats that bug me and your rhyming at time can feel slightly forced. But, I'm more than happy that you have finally joined this site! (After my harping at you) :)
