The system wants to stop me But it harps on "you do you" They say do what you love Set your sights on the moon above And alas, should you miss the moon, You will land among the stars But what's that worth if I land among them And I still can't hide my scars I don't want cuts, I don't want burns I want to seize the life that I yearn But every corner's a dead end, a no place Only choice is a path with no turns So my favorite time of the day turns to sleeping Behind closed eyelids is where I can see The life that I want and shall work for I will make my dreams reality

The System
The system wants to stop me But it harps on "you do you" They say do what you love Set your sights on the moon above And alas, should you miss the moon, You will land among the stars But what's that worth if I land among them And I still can't hide my scars I don't want cuts, I don't want burns I want to seize the life that I yearn But every corner's a dead end, a no place Only choice is a path with no turns So my favorite time of the day turns to sleeping Behind closed eyelids is where I can see The life that I want and shall work for I will make my dreams reality
