| Answer Me |
| Do you understand what it is that you feel? Don't lie to yourself. Be true and be real. Do you wish you could change things somehow? Here is your chance. The best time is now. |
| I say to you words no one else can ever ask, Because I can see what you're hiding behind the mask. You think I cannot hear the thoughts in your head, But I see your reaction to the words I have said. |
| The world said to you, "This is who you should be: Conform to the mold. Don't you dare disagree." You let them define what it is that you see. I am offering you now, the chance to be free. |
| Listen to my closely, you'll soon understand. Your life is only yours, it's not theirs to command. They bind you with promises, control you with guilt They want you to say in the prison they built. |
| Answer the questions I am going to ask. You are ready to hear them, at hand is the task. Answer them truthfully and do not be afraid. I will show you the strength to cast off your charade. |
| What is it exactly that you're trying to prove? That you can stand still when you're dying to move? Trying to stay one step ahead of the rest? Who needs convincing that you are the best? |
| Have you climbed up so high you're terrified to fall? To discover that you didn't really get anywhere at all? Do you give them your esteem, or do you thrive on theirs? Why are you willing to carry more than your share? |
| Whose favor do you seek, the world's or your own? When you're surrounded by people do you feel most alone? Everything you've worked for, was it worth what you paid? If I offered you my life would you be willing to trade? |
| Do you what do you do for yourself or another's sake? How much of their burden are you willing to take? They have no right to your life. It belongs only to you. Are you beginning to see what I'm trying to do? |
| You've got all the right effects, but the causes are wrong. Don't you understand that you don't need to belong? The world they created wasn't for you to live in. It's for them to relive what they wish could have been. |
| Make your own decisions. Decide your own fate. Believe in yourself. It's not yet too late. You don't have to impress anyone with your feats. What you need in the end is to just feel complete. |
| Who are you now? Who do you want to become? What is it exactly that you're running from? Is it them and their eyes or your own deep inside? Do you sometimes let truth yield to your pride? |
| What will you sacrifice to get to the top? Your judgment? Your values? Where does it stop? What if they say it's okay to cheat and to lie? If you see something wrong do you turn a blind eye? |
| Are you trying to run from the voice in your head? Pretending to laugh, do you wish you were dead? Do you shrug off the pain even though it kills you? After so many wrongs, is it vengeance that fills you? |
| For what do you live? What is it that you love? For what would you die? Is it the same as above? If you're living for others, then who's living for you? Don't you realize that you have to live too? |
| When will you listen? When will you learn? When will you stand up and fight for your turn? Tomorrow, the next day, next week, or next year? Why do you falter? What have you to fear? |
| Please respect intellectual property. |

| Think change is bad? Things should stay the same? For the rest of your life will you take all their blame? Will you keep walking down a path that is wrong? Afraid to try a different one that was there all along? |
| The answers inside, dare you say them out loud? You know them, I know them, now tell the crowd. Who are you now? What do you live for? Stand up and say you won't hide anymore. |
| Can you answer these questions? Dare you answer them? |
