Why make up an identity
Even unknown to oneself
Tainted vague personality
Much to bewilder myself
You think you know me well
Still you can’t even tell
Can’t read between the lines
Of what’s hidden with all the lies
Been pressured hard enough
To say I must give up
Living up with expectation
That’s only filled with pretension
Been so much confused
Wish we could just refuse
To be somebody else
Before we lose ourselves
