Dariynn Silver - Entry 3: Envy Lyrics

I am an outsider, messing with color outside the lines
They have the last puzzle piece
The one that I always seem to misplace
The threat is suffocating
Burns vast like wildfire
I pull out my armour and dig my heels in hard

With my defences ready I cover up my eyes
Half a smile protecting
I will not loose my pride
They walk so easy
I climb the steeper path
Your elegance in breathing gives me a heart attack

I am who I am, who I am, it's who I am

I pretend to face the argument of choosing love above myself
But I've screamed along with sirens, nobody came to help
You are acknowledged
Journey on higher ground
I'll admit you're smarter
Your confidence profound

I am who I am, who I am, it's who I am

I am not chained to who I am
I can see past where I stand
Magnify difference as freedom we hold in our hands

I know the truth
I lie in grace
I fight myself in empty space
My roots grow so much deeper
But underneath your feet, I have no true perspective
I am who I am, more than who I am

I am not chained to who I am
I can see past where I stand
Magnify difference as freedom we hold in our hands
