This world is backwards

This world is backwards Yes insanity is real Desensitized from birth But I can still feel. You can see with your eyes But I see with my heart You tell me to finish But never allow me to start You tell me I'm wrong When I know that I'm right You tell me to bow I'd rather fight When will you realize That I refuse to conform March to your drums And I'll dance to my horn Call me an outlaw Come hunt me down I'll break all your laws I'll terrorize your town No, I'm not sorry I do with intent I say what I mean I go where I went It's my life so I live it I take the good with the bad I choose to ignore you You can choose to be mad Trapped in this body While I'm told that I should try I look around And ask myself why So I look forward Being blessed with death I'm tired of life I just want to rest. Now read it backwards... I just want to rest I'm tired of life Being blessed with death So I look forward And ask myself why I look around While I'm told that I should try Trapped in this body You can choose to be mad I choose to ignore you I take the good with the bad It's my life so I live it I go where I went I say what I mean I do with intent No, I'm not sorry I'll terrorize your town I'll break all your laws Come hunt me down Call me an outlaw And I'll dance to my horn March to your drums That I refuse to conform When will you realize I'd rather fight You tell me to bow When I know that I'm right You tell me I'm wrong But never allow me to start you tell me to finish But I see with my heart You can see with your eyes But I can still feel Desensitized from birth Yes insanity is real This world is backwards
