Counterparts - The Constant lyrics

I will graciously accept that my life’s work
Whether it be in the past, the present
Or the future
It will be overshadowed by those around me
With a different definition of "success"
Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen
All I know is I’m right where I need to be
And though I’ve turned down a
Chance at fame and fortune
I know that there is no
Greater payment than this

And I’m so fucking far from the
Life I’m supposed to lead
And the man I’m supposed to be
And I couldn’t be happier
And I will remain a constant
I know where I stand
And I refuse to let their selfishness
Take control of who I am
Take control of who I am
Take control of who I am
And while I may die poor
At least my life had meaning
There’s more to life than living
And I truly feel alive
And I know that when I die
There will be others who feel the same
Way ready to take my place

This is our song of protest
I promise you that nothing is slowing us down
I promise you
That nothing is slowing us down

And while I may die poor
At least my life had meaning
There’s more to life than living
And I truly feel alive
And I know that when I die
There will be others who feel the same
Way ready to take my place
And I will laugh in the face
Of those who tell me different
And I will laugh in the face
Of those who tell me different

Even with both of my feet
Planted firmly on the ground
I am free to move in my own direction
I will remain a constant
I know where I stand i know where I stand
I know where I stand i know where I stand
I know where I stand
