Stand In

Sick of words kept in check
Sick of where I want to get
Fed up with walls that hem me in
Fed up with who I should have been
Had enough of being good
Just to please the ones who should
Know much better than the rest that none of us
Can pass the test

But the further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood in for me
The further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood in for me

Hate the standard protocol
I want no moral ‘just because’
Can’t abide the double standard
Especially when it’s me that lands it
I want to move beyond repair
To places that I get to wear
New things that will take me higher - let me climb
Upon the wire

Cos the further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood in for me
The further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood in for me

I’m finished with the fake allure
Of every do it yourself cure
Tired of hearing what I need
Messed up, dressed up, feed for greed
I’m done with making bad agreements
Harvests for the biggest demons
Goodbye to empty rules, I will live, I will live
Like a fool

Cos the further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood in for me
The further I go the more I’m convinced
Someone stood, gave everything, oh yes someone stood in
For me
