[Intro - Driving Guitar Pulse and Deep Bass] [Verse 1 - Deep Raspy Male Vocal] They've always drawn the lines for us, The roads we're supposed to follow. One proper way to live our lives, One proper way to think tomorrow. We measure, label and compare, Like everyone must fit somewhere. But I've always struggled to follow A road somebody else prepared. If something in me says to try... I NEED TO SEE IT FOR MYSELF. [Pre-Chorus - Rapid Rising Rock Build] They can tell me: “You're heading for a wall.” Maybe. But if I need to understand the fall... THEN I'LL HIT THAT WALL. [Chorus - Driving Powerful Melodic Rock] [Keep Full Tempo Through Chorus] [Wide Guitars and Layered Male Harmonies] OUTSIDE THE BOX! I never learned to stay inside the lines. OUTSIDE THE BOX! I'd rather carve a path that's mine. I think differently, I do things differently, And sometimes that unsettles those around me. But if I had to become like everyone else... [End Chorus - Slight Tempo Release] [Low Firm Male Vocal] I SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE MYSELF. [Higher Powerful Male Vocal] I SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE MYSELF! [Verse 2 - Fast Rhythmic Rock] I never claim that I'm always right, Or that I know the truth better. I only see things in my own way, And sometimes I need to try another. I can fall, I can change direction, Do things no one understands. Because a road already traveled... DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS MADE FOR ME. [Pre-Chorus - Strong Rising Build] I'd rather make mistakes By following what I believe, Than spend my whole life succeeding... AS SOMEBODY I DON'T WANT TO BE. [Chorus - Bigger Driving Melodic Rock] [Keep Full Tempo Through Chorus] [Wide Guitars and Male Harmonies] OUTSIDE THE BOX! I never learned to stay inside the lines. OUTSIDE THE BOX! I'd rather carve a path that's mine. I think differently, I do things differently, And sometimes that unsettles those around me. But if I had to become like everyone else... [End Chorus - Slight Tempo Release] [Low Firm Male Vocal] I SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE MYSELF. [Higher Powerful Male Vocal] I SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE MYSELF! [Bridge - Reduced Guitar and Deep Bass] [Slow Deep Male Vocal] A long time ago, I chose a dragon. For its strength. For its fire. For protecting what I refuse to lose. And for that strange frontier... Between what's real And what we imagine. [Gradual Rock Build] They can tell me It doesn't exist... But everything it represents in me... IS VERY REAL. [Strong Full Band Rebuild] [Final Chorus - Huge Driving Cinematic Rock] [Keep Full Tempo Until Final Lines] [Wide Harmonized Male Backing Vocals] OUTSIDE THE BOX! And I don't need to find my way back in. OUTSIDE THE BOX! Maybe that's exactly where I can grow. I'll think differently, I'll do things differently, Even if sometimes I have to fall. Because what makes us different Can also bring us together. [End Chorus - Instruments Pull Back Slightly] [Low Deep Male Vocal] THEY MAKE US HUMAN. [Higher Powerful Male Vocal with Harmonies] THEY MAKE US HUMAN! [Outro - Driving Guitar Pulse] I may still run into walls. But they'll be mine. And I'd rather carry my differences... THAN SPEND MY LIFE TRYING TO HIDE THEM.
