Who We Are You know, Some people aren't going to get you And that's alright They don't have to, But I have this feeling That maybe if they'd try They'd get us, The people who ask why They'd understand People like you and me They'd understand Those who think differently We're more than weird More than strange We are the people Who don't fear change We're always asking Why that does this We're seventeen and still Haven't had our first kiss But we're ok with that Our lives are more than A constant struggle Of trying to fit in We don't care About the status quo We've got things to do, Places to go We spend our time Writing and reading We spend it Starting and completing 'Cause that's who we are And we never strive to be anything more We open a window If there isn't a door 'Cause that's who we are We don't settle for normal And we are incapable Of being formal 'Cause that's who we are Crazy, undecided The ones who make What isn't provided 'Cause that's who we are We redefine normality We mold and alter We don't let it be 'Cause that's who we are It's who we've always been We'll fail time after time, But we'll never give in 'Cause that's who we are Every boy, every girl We maybe the outcasts, But we're the ones who change the world

Her I was fourteen when I met her And I don't know what came over me, But I sat down beside her, introduced myself And the rest was history There was something about her The girl from New Jersey, Who was loud and funny, And had a least a hundred different Sharpies She was so unique So different from anyone else So easy to love, And yet she didn't love herself I was fourteen when we became friends I remember she swore a lot Everyday she copied my homework, Claiming she'd forgot We liked the same movies, Had the same favorite bands And it made her laugh When we compared our hands Hers were so much smaller She always hated it, How short she was, But I didn't I was fourteen when I fell for her And I was scared 'Cause where I grew up Gay wasn't something you shared I remember when he broke her heart And all she could do was cry She kept saying no one loved her And she wanted to die And I wanted to scream I wanted to tell her the truth, But I couldn't So I choked back the, "I love you." I was fourteen when she left She went back home It was for the best Here she felt so alone She wasn't meant for here She's happier now And I'm happy for her, But I'm still crying somehow I apologize for my tears In fact, I don't think I would've cried Had she not twisted the knife By not saying goodbye

I Am Ok I am ok Yes, I'm fine Perhaps not now, But in time It gives me faith, What lies ahead Often I spend hours Just drilling in my head The hope, the dream It will be better one day This is the reason I am ok

Tolerance Damned hearts And broken minds Seek all, yet None you find By society, Written of, banished Thought to be conquered, Thought to be finished They hide in the shadows Sheltering their souls Protecting themselves from those Who think them to bold They spend their lives escaping the label, The chains they carry To the grave from the cradle Oh! World, so foolish! You know not diversity Oh! World so selfish! You know only self-pity Oh, such sorrowful suffering! Those blind are to be blamed Oh, hateful world! I am so ashamed
