At Odds
by Off Balance· from Demo
From day one, the very beginning / I knew I never had no chance of winning / All the way back to my childhood / That was when I was told I was no good / Always put down for not doing things right / All that pain and misery gave me / The might and the strength / To push through all the abuse / With vengeance, I'll hang this world by a noose / Bitter thoughts inside my head / My faith in people is all but dead / For me to trust is so damn hard / Always someone out to get, overcome with anxiety / I just can't seem to let down my guard / Against the grain, I always seem to fall / When confronted with people who's minds are small / It's not a choice but a fact of my being / That my perspective, no one else is seeing / Like a fish out of water, always out of place / I see a mask of lies in every human face / There's no escape, and one thing that I know / I'm at odds wherever I go / It will be with me until I die, my natural instinct to defy / Subversive to the status quo / Born to be authority's foe / I'll never succumb to the powers that be / I'm always gonna be the adversary / Taking shit from all sides / Alone with nothing but my pride
