No one can tell me who to be No one can say who I am I created who you see today I built my life with my own hands No one can say they own me No one can stake a claim I refuse to act as society's slave I will not know such shame No one can ever hold me back No one can quench my fire I will simply add more fuel, you see I will glow to my heart's desire No one has burned more bridges than I No one has pushed away so many I was stupid to give them all a chance I have made too many enemies No one thought I could do it No one believed it when I did I wish to Hell they had some faith I wish they trusted the words I said No one tried to save me No one saw me slip away I lived a life of solitude I pushed through so much pain No one ever doubts me now No one thinks me a weak essence I proved every one of them wrong I earned my independence No one dares dictate my life No one braves the ice cold waters I, myself, and me stick together I don't need any followers

Me, Myself, and I
No one can tell me who to be No one can say who I am I created who you see today I built my life with my own hands No one can say they own me No one can stake a claim I refuse to act as society's slave I will not know such shame No one can ever hold me back No one can quench my fire I will simply add more fuel, you see I will glow to my heart's desire No one has burned more bridges than I No one has pushed away so many I was stupid to give them all a chance I have made too many enemies No one thought I could do it No one believed it when I did I wish to Hell they had some faith I wish they trusted the words I said No one tried to save me No one saw me slip away I lived a life of solitude I pushed through so much pain No one ever doubts me now No one thinks me a weak essence I proved every one of them wrong I earned my independence No one dares dictate my life No one braves the ice cold waters I, myself, and me stick together I don't need any followers
