lyrics

I am an alien
With a price on my head
The local aberration
I'm an anomaly
In the normality
A victim of perception
But I love what I see

And I won't listen when they say
I'm heading to the wrong direction
And I'm doing things my way
And I don't need their absolution
And when I'm feeling low
I try to remind myself
I'd better be alone than being with someone else

Now I am strong enough and you can't break me
Proud enough and you can't change me
Far enough and I won't turn back no more

They dismiss the unknown
But we're all flesh and bones
It's just misguided opinion
But I used to see me through their eyes
Taking my power away by sitting still and cry
I was not what I aimed to be

But I won't listen when they say
I'm heading to the wrong direction
And I'm doing things my way
And I don't need their absolution
And when I'm feeling low
I gotta remind myself
I'd better be my own than being like someone else

Now I am strong enough and you can't break me
Proud enough and you can't change me
Far enough and I won't turn back no more
Now I am wise enough and you can judge me
Dry enough and you can hate me
All in all I'm just the ghoul next door
And I love what I see

I am my own self creation
But you made me what I am
I'm making my own decisions
I don't have to make amends
I'd rather live in seclusion
And to live up to my name
I'm not in need of salvation
