My home is a broken home 
Beaten and broken and all alone 
I need a change and I need it now 
Gave up on faith, I don't need his vow 
No will to change, no will for hope 
My word is my word, I won't need a rope 
To pick myself up every time that I fall 
I've been through [bad word]  I've been through it all 

As a boy I watched my father leave at the age of 10 
I can't forget the words that came out his lips 
He said have hope son things will get better 
The ocean waves were the only thing that reflected the grey "heaven" 
 [bad word] in the sea were hard to believe 
For me myself and what I've grown up to be 
He is a fallen idol 
mass superstition 
He had a chance and it just gave me he'll 
I'm nothing special 
I know I've changed 
I'm no prophecy, nor fallen prodigy 
I'm just the match that ignites the flame 

I cause pain 
I have to live like this 
I will not change 
I will not blame my self 
For what I did 
It was my choice 
To live this way 
No turning back 
I am who I am 
These thoughts are just pitch black 

Let me tell you something, you're no better than me 
Let me tell you something, you're no better than me 
Let me tell you something, you're no better than me 
Let me tell you something, you're no better than me 

Let me tell you something, you're no better than me 
As I look into the mirror all I see is disease 
I'm not proud of change 
Their is no one to blame 
I was born this way 
There's nowhere stay 

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, life goes on and on and on and on and on 

[And all I know has been alone] 

within you or without you 
We will all be forgotten 
Just go on 

I'm proud of who I am 
I'm proud of my change
