Here I am
The hammer strikes one-two-three
I'm impatiently tapping my feet
In a murmuring room full of critics and fakers
All waiting to take their seat
The focus of the room
All bating breath
Waiting on a single word
That could spill from my mouth
That would give them a reason
To take me for all I'm worth
I took the oath to tell the truth
So freely, I'll tell you this
My path's my own and mine alone
You won't understand
You want what I am
Forgetting the man inside
I'm calling you out
So try, take me down
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into
Your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting
I don't use your lungs to breathe
Your feet can't walk for me
So tell me
Where you take your right to my mind?
Brought the sky down on our heads
Never mine to claim, you said
So tell me
Where you take your right to my freedom
My cause for creation, my mind
My direction, my life?
Unlock and engage
When everyone's equal
But no one's the same
We give what we choose
But we give what we want to
And not to be used
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into
Your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting, oh
I'm the one who lit the fuse
I'm the one who pulled it out from under you
I'm the one who wears the consequence
I'm the one who will stay true to myself
So I'll wish you all well
But I'll take my ideas with me
You won't understand
You want what I am
Forgetting the man inside
I'm calling you out
So try, take me down
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into
Your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting, no
