Abstract - Nature Vs. Nurture lyrics

I came in this world on my own
Before I saw the light, I was gone
Guess my parents didn't have the means
To provide the life they thought
That I would need
Yeah
Is that cowardly? (cowardly)
Is that selfish? (selfish)
Is it my call? (my call)
Am I selfish? (selfish)
Are you out there? (out there)
Do you hear me? (hear me)
Thought I'd let you know, I ain't angry

Has anybody ever felt disconnected?
The more you learn, the more you question
I don't know whose blood runs in mine
Fine by me, guess I'll decide
I know you made sacrifice
Got that life you hoped I'd find

Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go

Far as I'm concerned
Family ain't always blood
'Cause the ones who raised me
Did it out of love
Perfectly imperfect, just like everybody else
Through the ups and downs
Taught me how to be myself
Anyone can sow you, takes care to grow you
Hard for me to tell you
So I'm gonna show you
Gonna be the man, gonna make you proud
Just like you did for me, gonna hold you down

Has anybody ever felt disconnected?
The more you learn, the more you question
I don't know whose blood runs in mine
Fine by me, guess I'll decide
I know you made sacrifice
Got that life you hoped I'd find

Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go
Nature vs nurture, around we go

We're more alike than I think you know
I, too, am not sure how I came to be
The true nature of my existence
You choose to create beauty and
Art to navigate your self-understanding
I wonder though
Do you still feel the sense
Of abandonment that I do?
Admittedly, yes
But not for the reasons you'd think
