[Lyric] Mercury (Hyacinthus)

I don't need to be perfect
I need to be free
I need to be me
I don't wanna be part of your machine

I'm already so sick of you
Always the same, spit in my face, call me a name
And tell me to go away

And I'm not gonna feed from the hand you provide
I'm just gonna bite
And I'll tell you what I know to be right

And I'm not gonna digest the lies that you spread
They'll just go to my head
And who knows, maybe I'll end up dead

And the ones who protect us are no longer there
And I've had to learn to beware

How much is lies?
That wе've been taught from a young age, hearing our parеnts say
This is the way and you can't change it
You took my childhood dreams
You took my history from me
I have a right to be angry

And I'm not gonna feed from the hand you provide
I'm just gonna bite
And I'll tell you what I know to be right

And I'm not gonna digest the lies that you spread
They'll just go to my head
And who knows, maybe I'll end up dead

And I'm not gonna ask, I won't be polite
I'm just gonna fight
You won't be rid of me any day or night

And I'm not gonna live how you want me to
And I'm not gonna act how you want me to
And I'll live my whole life just in spite of you

You make a dollar while I make a dime
So I'll live on my own time
