Accidental Self - Individuation

Society is singing lullabies
Put you to sleep so they can steal your mind
How can you love yourself if you don’t know yourself
Do you know yourself
Oh can you feel the chains
Hold you back hold you in your place
Well I know myself but I don’t know my place
Do you know your place
Ain’t ever gonna change my mind
That’s how you sound all the time
That’s why you’re operating blind
What could you find
I speak you say okay
You speak I say okay
But you never really heard
You never really heard a word said
Didn't hear a word
Never heard a word
Why do we speak this way
Why do we speak this way
Where you’re never really heard
And you never get a damn word said
Not a damn word said
They say I’m living up in the clouds
I say I ain’t gonna ever come down
Because I love myself
That's why I love myself
I love to hope and I love to dream
These have been and always will be my favorite things
Until they steal my mind or ‘til they bury me
You tried to burn me out
Outta my own damn house
And I love myself
That's why I won’t ever speak your name
Oh how the Universe cried
She been hurtin’ way down inside
And she loves herself
I’m in love with nothing else
I love to hope and I love to dream
These have been and always will
Be my favorite things
Until they steal my mind
Or til they bury me
