August Burns Red - Identity lyrics

Do you know how it feels to hide?
With thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie truth is
You can’t decide where my heart resides

You want to cure me of this epidemic
You call me sick, I wish I had said it
The words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand
And cast aside
(Cast aside) from the man that I am!

I’ve never felt so free and it kills me
To hear you say "you choose to love me"
I was hoping that would be a given
Given our history
I’ve never felt so free (So free)
You think I’m wrong, you think I’m wrong
But, I never felt better

Stop living in denial stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better
Stop living in denial stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better

I know I disappointed you
But, I’ve got nothing to prove

You want to cure me of this epidemic
You call me sick, I wish I had said it
The words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand
Now I’ve realized this is who I am, I am
I’ve made my decision
You’re either with or against me
You’re either with or against me
You’re either with or against me!

Stop living in denial stop loving the lie
I thought blood was thicker than water
You think I’m wrong but I never felt better
Stop living in denial stop loving the lie

I’m standing firm, It’s who I am, who I am
You can’t keep me, you can't keep me down!
Iʼm moving on, I’m living free, living free
You canʼt stop me, you can't stop me now!
I’m standing firm, it’s who I am, who I am
You can’t keep me, you can't keep me down!
Iʼm moving on, I’m living free, living free
You canʼt stop me, you can't stop me now!
