The Scene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i am here not by choice but by
my birth for so many years i doubted
my own worth it's no coincidence i ended
up where i'm at now i'm here to
tell you that you can't kick me out
'cause i'm a permanent part of this society
the blackest sheep agmonst a crowd of them
i'm not the glue that holds this scene
together but i have arrived here by way
of dirty looks and rejection and head scratching
shrink and frustrated parents and teachers just like
so many did before me and will after
me go ahead and laugh at me you
can afford to laugh i can't 'cause this
is all i have i'm not proud i'm
not ashamed but this is all i have
and it's good enough for me and i
am through following your truth i'm making my
own rules my own world my own rules
