#different?

Let's track down the believers and call them hypocrites

Let's laugh and point, but only when their back are turned

The imperfect preaching against sin

What a joke

Isn't it obvious to them that people already are what they ever will be?

That change is unattainable?

Let's call them hypocrites when we're the ones full of irony

Running through minefields in the name of living

Walking into cages in the name of freedom

Stepping in front of trains for the feeling of security

Only realizing what we've done when the door locks and our legs are gone and the train hits

Let's call them the liars when we're painting smiles on our faces

"Rebels" fighting preacher's kids

Feminists fighting girly-girls

Hipsters fighting "the crowd"

Stereotypes fighting stereotypes

Our image means nothing

Being 'cool' or  looking 'hot' goes no further than the temperature of our skin

And if skin is what you're focused on, you'll never reach the soul

When you try too hard to fight conformity, it swallows you

When you try too hard to "be yourself", you became lost

When we're standing here, fighting so hard to become different

WE

BECOME 

THE SAME.
