The confusion within me just keeps building up
I can’t seem to think, and I’ve had enough
My mind might be mine, but are my thoughts truly there
Is someone else watching to make sure I don’t care

My thoughts they fade and fight with the rest
The ones that aren’t mine try to say that they’re best
I can’t seem to tell which thoughts are all mine
Others have accepted it but it is not fine

Outside influence building at my feet
Trying to make me feel complete
But now I see what’s happening to me
And I fear it’s too late to be set free

Help me, help me. Please hear my plea
I’m just another leaf on the normality tree
Are all my actions just the social norm
Are all of my interests just me trying to conform

Emo, cheerleader, popular, geek
Which type of fashion will I choose this week
Black, silver, blue, pink
I’m stuck following others and flowing in sync

Outside influence building at my feet
Trying to make me feel complete
But now I see what’s happening to me
And I fear it’s too late to be set free
I fear it’s too late
I think it’s too late
I know it’s too late
To be set free
