We're always told to
follow all the rules
But I refused to
become just another fool
I'm sick and tired!
Of a society
that puts us through the
boring way of normality
But what if I built my own path through this forest?
A path where walls are made of smoke
It's stereotypes that keep our minds still jailed in
the prototype of how we have to live
get married, buy a house and work until you
become the man they say you have to be
But no, I won't be your role model
I'll live my life in a way that when
I'm on my deathbed I'll look back and say
I lived the life that I loved to live
They say I'm mental
that I need to quit
But man why would I
when I fell this fucking free?
Sleepless and broke!
But I'm so happy
'Cause all this comes from
my way of living, my crazy routine
But what if I built my own path through this forest?
A path where walls are made of smoke
It's stereotypes that keep our minds still jailed in
the prototype of how we have to live
get married, buy a house and work until you
become the man they say you have to be
But no, I won't be your role model
I'll live my life in a way that when
I'm on my deathbed I'll look back and say
I lived the life that I loved to live
Every bus I've taken
every road I've seen
every friend I have lost
and those I didn't meet
All of them have shaped me
Not looking for a change
That is who I am, who I want to be
I live the life that I want to live
But what if I built my own path through this forest?
A path where walls are made of smoke
It's stereotypes that keep our minds still jailed in
the prototype of how we have to live
get married, buy a house and work until you
become the man they say you have to be
But no, I won't be your role model
I'll live my life in a way that when
I'm on my deathbed I'll look back and say
I lived the life that I loved to live
