I Stand Alone

Otep · Atavist [2011]

Loud and proud

Loud and proud



Alone, in the crowd



Sometimes I feel more dead than alive

Sometimes I feel I can do it this time

Sometimes I feel so empty inside

Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind

Sometimes I feel like trash cast aside

Sometimes I feel suffocated by the lies



I want to burn it

I want to hurt them

The spider readies the web



May the bridges I burn light my way

Isolated in defiance, I will remain

May the bridges I burn light my way

I will never comply, I'll forever defy



I'm strange

I'm odd

I'm queer

I'm flawed

I'm one of a kind



I'm strange

I'm odd

I'm queer

I'm flawed

I am divine



Alone, in the crowd



Sometimes I feel nothing at all

Sometimes I feel everything is my fault

Sometimes I feel the hate break my mind

Sometimes I feel they deserve it this time

Sometimes I feel my scars are for rent

Sometimes I feel my hands around their necks



I want to crush them

I want to hurt them

The spider readies the web



May the bridges I burn light my way

Isolated in defiance, I will remain

May the bridges I burn light my way

I will never comply, I'll forever defy



I'm strange

I'm odd

I'm queer

I'm flawed

I'm one of a kind



I'm strange

I'm odd

I'm queer

I'm flawed

I am divine



Don't let the heavy drapes of the world drag you down



I don't wanna be complete

I don't wanna be content

I don't wanna be perfect

I don't wanna be like them



Loud and proud

Loud and proud



I don't wanna be complete

I don't wanna be content

I don't wanna be perfect

I don't wanna be like them



May the bridges I burn light my way

Isolated in defiance, I will remain

May the bridges I burn light my way

I will never comply, I'll forever defy



Loud and proud

Loud and proud
