I refuse to compromise
to throw away this life
I'd rather have tears in these eyes
than toil away in strife.
My destiny beckons loud
calling my forgotten name
my fears gather like thunderclouds
threatening to drown me with rain.
I'm so afraid I'll be a nothing
a drone working for the queen
I'll fall asleep while I'm loving
tomorrows useless scene.
I just want to jam so hard
to sing my spirit true
and peice together these broken shards
and find the final clue
to why I can never finish
the story of olden times
when my sorrows had been diminished
and I thrived in verdant climes
I refuse to give in
and become one of the damned
so I'll give God a crooked grin
and continue to run my sham
eternally playing flams.
