This is my place in this world I accept this position This life- Ahh- this life isn't just mine Steady- stay- placate- play Don't you dare upset me STOP Steady- stand- listen- plan Don't you dare direct me STOP Attack- attend- break down- defend Guards drop Weakening my barriers Breaking my ground Testing my willpower This is how you find yourself This is my place in this world I accept this position This life- Ahh- this life isn't just mine They make that clear Predisposition to rip into me To prove themselves And as I open up, they say open up more Like a treasure chest I give my greatest gold Steady- fun- placate- run Don't you dare correct them STOP Steady- build- listen- feel Don't you dare direct them STOP When they attack- attend- break down- defend Beg me to drop my guard Inside my head they play a game of chess with themselves If you need to be inside me I'll let that be what you do I'm a tidlewave of you on top of you And when I'm cool water You get to be that too Put the mirror in front of my face so you can look at you Weakening my barriers Breaking my ground Testing my willpower This is how you find yourself This is my place in this world Ooh to find a friend, or a lover who doesn't need us to be so undercover When I'm there again, I accept my place But the ideas- they hold me Why must people learn from how they harm me? This is my place in this world I accept this position This life- Ahh- this life isn't just mine This body isn't just mine They learn from how they find themselves in my eyes I accept this
