The Picture You Paint
Embracing Change: Finding Identity Beyond Expectations
Lyrics
I've been wandering
I have been aimlessly moving or exploring.
Like a ghost no one knows
Similar to a unnoticed spirit.
Not defined by the picture you paint
My identity is not constrained by the image others create of me.
I wake up with fears that I'm failing
I wake up with anxieties about not succeeding.
Will I become all that I resent
Concerns about whether I will transform into what I dislike.
Wait I'm not as cynical as I once was
I am less pessimistic than I used to be.
So help me off this jaded wall we built so high
Assistance is needed to overcome a cynical barrier.
I'm just as driven as you
I share the same determination as you.
But I've become something new
However, I have evolved into something different.
I'm heading toward my oasis
I am moving towards a personal refuge or salvation.
I was drowning under my surface
I was overwhelmed by challenges beneath the surface.
Was all for nothing
Previous efforts seemed to be in vain.
Quietly sick of it all
Quietly fed up with everything.
It's not a destination I'm seeking
The goal is not a specific place; it's about the present moment.
It's here and now we find who we are
We discover our true selves in the current moment.
Hey I'm not as cynical as I once was,
I am less cynical than before.
So help me off this jaded wall we built so high
Help is sought to break down a cynical barrier.
I'm just as driven as you
I share the same determination as you.
But I've become something new
However, I have transformed into something new.
I'm heading toward my oasis
I am moving towards a personal refuge or salvation.
All these voices live in my head
Various thoughts and opinions are present in my mind.
You say that I should be who I want to be
You advise me to be myself, but I feel restricted by your limits.
But now confined by your boundaries
Boundaries are confining my actions.
Realizing all that I'm fighting was let in by me
Realization that the struggles I face were allowed by my own choices.
