You see my future as uncertain
I see it as an endless string of now
And you dedicate your life to working
While I am working to design a way our

You seem to think I've no ambition
I say that you're the one who took the easy way
You've taken their agenda for your mission
While I refuse to hang on every word they say

Don't judge me or begrudge me the right to go on my own way
I know you have done your best to make me see the light of day
Your system can exist from the other slaves you've made
Let me be, I'll set myself free let's call it a fair trade

Yes, there are times I envy what you have
Parallel lives whispering
Haunt my envy step

I'll take no part of the virtues you are selling
You can't believe that I refuse your two edged blade
Why can't you see I understand what you are telling
And I accept it as a fair and even trade

Don't judge me, don't begrudge me the right to go on my own way
I know you have done your best to make me see the light of day
Don't judge me, don't touch me with your dirty two edged blade
Paid the price and sacrificed, I made the fair trade

Parallel lives haunt my every step…
