Existential Alignment - Who I Am Lyrics

I don't think you understand
Who I am is out of my hands
But I'm proud to be this way
And I won't stand for your hate

As time goes on by
So many of us die
Due to a lack of care
Vitriol, hatred, homophobic affairs

Long now it's been overdue
For something to happen, something soon
It's the twenty-first century
But you still act like it's 1953

Get out of your own heads
Learn to love, learn to accept
That you choose to hate
But we don't choose to be born this way

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm not gonna hide anymore
I did so for years but now I'm sure
I'm sick of being someone else
I don't wanna fake it but I couldn't help

I couldn't help but run from myself
Due to lack of support and lack of help
Lack of help from those in charge
their words were empty it's all a façade

To stroke their narcissistic ego
Their performative care is all for show
For their own capital gain
To make their money from our pain

You know it I know it too
They don't care for me or for you
They care about image and greed
They don't care about those in need

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I don't think you understand
Who I am is out of my hands
But I'm proud to be this way
And I won't stand for your hate

As time goes on by
So many of us die
Due to a lack of care
Vitriol, hatred, homophobic affairs

Long now it's been overdue
For something to happen, something soon
It's the twenty-first century
But you still act like it's 1953

Get out of your own heads
Learn to love, learn to accept
That you choose to hate
But we don't choose to be born this way

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again

I'm proud of who I am
And I want you to understand
It's not a debate you don't have a chance
To invalidate our lives again and again
