See beyond

You try to break me, I look past and see beyond

You try to bend me

I won't align

Cast aside

Don't expect to find a single thing in common

With the crooked smiles, the aimless idols

Hollow and wandering

They're going nowhere for miles

They try to break me

They try to bend me

But I see beyond

I won't align

I don't need validation to define me

Or justify manipulation

And I'll sway you spineless

Prove you mindless

You lash out while I'm poised and silent

I won't live up to mass appeal

"I'm holding out for a better deal

Something real"

I see beyond

I won't align

I don't need validation to define me

Or justify manipulation

They try to bend me

They try to break me

I see beyond
