Life isnt about finding yourself, its about creating yourself:)<br /> <br /> Why talk when you can sing? Why walk when you can dance?

don't touch me
can't you see i'm afraid i won't feel you?
i'm afraid of the walls
i built myself
i'm afraid of tearing them down

don't look too long at me
haven't you been taught not to stare?
i am no different than you
with black birds-nest hair
and shadowy lined eyes

don't laugh loud around me
why are you so immature?
"someone, shut her up."
you won't cry or fear, but
that should do it

don't be anything like me
can't you see it takes work to be unique?
i own this look
i own this music
don't forget it

i'm here to make sure
you don't forget me
you won't forget me
