I am hated,
I do not care.
I am pained,
I do not care.

You attack me?
You condemn my soul?
I don't really care,
I just don't care.

I am myself,
I will let myself free.
My music, my heart,
It makes me feel alive.

So just leave me be,
Your attacks be damned!
I will do exactly as I wish,
This is my life!

I sleep with Sirens,
I escape my Fate.
I pierce the Veil,
I fall in Reverse.

I am an Offspring,
Of a Misfit in Nirvana.
I am The Exploited One,
And that's fine with me.

I. Am. Alive.

I compared my Life with the names of several bands that I like, and this popped up in my warped, disturbed little mind.
