Conform to Nothing

I once dreamt of seeing a house set to a backdrop, oh so picturesque A rustic view of our tradition and with her glance, I've already won Now, I awake from what's so clearly staged as if I'd ever see myself engaged In such idealistic lifetime cues condemned to fatalistic views Push my luck here I know I'll break before I bend, a pessimist until the end And all I get, condescending talks of who I'll be outside this box If everyone's content on calling me out be rest assured that I've had my doubts At continuing this existence of stark betrayal of societal norms set: coffin and nail Think this is what I want, you're so dead wrong. Count all of your blessings that I'll be gone Break the bank on this one way trip to somewhere far is my only tip Sick of this place and what its done to me. Just too docile as you can see Send your letters to address unknown Lessons I can only learn on my own Just don't worry I could tell a thousand lies about the story in my eyes Written clear as day they sell, all these lights they overwhelm If everyone's content on calling me out be rest assured that I've had my doubts At continuing this existence of stark betrayal of societal norms set: coffin and nail Think this is what I want, you're so dead wrong. Count all of your blessings that I'll be gone I'll make quitting such a foreign word. One day you'll see it's not so absurd It's not far now pull through this hellscape of my own making will not shake me Convictions strong with perseverance towards a pure enlightenment
