Rather by Nimbus Cart

I was running around
Giving attention
To things that people say
What they would mention
And I erased me
I shrinked me

I am human
And I exist
There were some things I couldn’t resist
I have flaws
Round of applause

And while drowning
I was seen
I couldn’t be associated with people that are mean
Yes, they’re so obscene
Yes, they’re so obscene

I got tired of my own apologies
It’s time for me to be who I want to be
Finger to the ones that are bothered by me
It’s to me that I address
to feel worthy

Whether I’d be normal
Rather I’d be weird
Rather I’d be me
Whether I’d be free
Whether I’d be normal
Rather I’d be weird
Rather I’d be real
Whether I’d be free

I did not have the speed to outrun myself
I thought I wasn’t worth the friends
and I started hiding, I didn’t come out
And I thought
I fought

Consumed by opinions that refer to me
Assuming I’m not being who I ought to be
Appearing as expected causes distress
Yeah, feeling different than the others is worth less

I am used obeying to their certain ideas
I am able to act as I please
I stand up
I speak up

Days passed by and I felt more suppressed
It is no wonder that people get depressed
I'm craving to the day that I’d be proud of me
About who I am, even tho you won’t agree

Whether I’d be normal
Rather I’d be weird
Rather I’d be me
Whether I’d be free
Whether I’d be normal
Rather I’d be weird
Rather I’d be real Whether I’d be free
