Is It Me?

I don't know
If it's me
Or the rest of the world
I feel like I'm always
Watering me down
Restraining an impulse
Holding it back
Even after all this work
Where does compromise end
And self-denial begin
Screw self-denial, by the way
That belief system is my past
I seem to fuck with some of you
Just by being me
I'm torn between feeling bad
And feeling contempt
Really
Stand up
On your own two feet
You've made your choices
And I've made mine
We all have to decide
Like the lyric says
What to leave in
And what to leave out
What stays, what becomes
Part of the past
I'm not afraid of change
But some of you are
I love you all
But you need to let go
Of my ankles
You're pulling me under
