Defying Destiny: A.S.A.O.K. Triumphs Over Critics
Lyrics
This song is for everyone that said I was
This song is a response to those who doubted and criticized the singer.
Programed, hardwired, that I'd self-destruct
Addressing the perception that the singer was programmed or predestined to fail and self-destruct.
They'd say I was destined to always be desperate

And I was voted the first one to crumble and break

I'd never have a chance, the biggest waste

But now I'm the one who's laughing last

Because you're the one that keeps looking back

You're the one that's fading away

So I say
