To please them you must follow
Leaving yourself empty and hallow
A mens soul don't borrow
It will leave you empty with sorrow
Stand up on your own even if it means stand alone
In that very crowd you call home
To please them bleed yourself
Independence joy desire
Empty and hallow and ready to follow
Looking for others to hold you
Others will mold you
Refuse to think just barrow
And your soul they will swallow
With your feet set on their path
I watch as you sink and refuse to think
Looking for others to hold you
Others will own you
Voices from the grave cry out
You refuse courage and you doubt
Keep your own mind
Thoughts of other you don't need to borrow
Deeds like those leads to sorrow
To please them bleed yourself
Independence joy desire
Empty and hallow and ready to follow
Looking for others to hold you
Others will mold you
Refuse to think just barrow
And your soul they will swallow
