Master of your Destiny

Skin softened by sadness
Alone in madness
Let's damage the plot 
So they talked
but we forgot
Still forged strength in fires
Laughing at their desires
We're all we got

Fate did not hold us prisoner
But I'll still provide
Cradle the parts
Flattened by neglect
They can't harm what's next
Love has no contest

Same in same out
I was bright but too dark
Quiet but too loud
Kind but too mean
Private but too seen
But tomorrow I'll be everything
Envelope all mass
Matter more than the past
Hold weight beyond measure

There would've always be an
empty portion on your plate
Look and see my face
We weren't prisoners to fate 
Oh, you'll be sorry
But you don't have to be hungry
