Can't taint me, can't paint me,
with a brush dipped in acid,
can't show me how to live,
can't show me how to see,
can't show me how to be,
can't keep me confined, can't keep me entwined,
by the shadows at my feet,
snaking 'round my ankles
and burning with venom, fueled by spite
cold and metallic, fear can't ignite,
can't bind me, can't find me,
can't ensnare me with hate,
can't corrupt me and eat me alive,
can't tear at my skin,
can't feint with lies, can't paint my eyes...
'cause I know who I am,
I am me.
