You can not break

You can not let them know

Doesn’t matter if you break your bones

Don’t let it show

Be the model

For those after you

For those who look to you

Those who are fools

No one should follow my path

Or yours for that matter

The blood we spill is ours

So I’m not your model

I’m not representing your hero or message

I’m no one to follow

So run away

I don’t care how many times I choke on my own blood

I don’t care how many times I spit up resuscitated from the flood 

I’ll march my way

I’ll make my own mistakes

I’ll live my own life

I’m not your model

Your chance to change something

I’m running

Until I walk out

I’m fighting

Until I fall out

I’m living

Until I die out 

Whatever it is

Don’t try to control me

Don’t make me your puppet

Don’t make me your symbol 

Don’t make me your model

Don’t tell me to say your truth

Cause I’m going to make all the mistakes of my youth

I’ll never be your model
