I must make a choice A tough decision Listen to my voice Should I give in To temptation, admiration One leads to myself The other some one else Just an empty shell Just an empty shell It's harder than it seems When you're told that All your hopes and dreams Are yours to hold if You just give them What's expected Something they can sell Put upon a shelf That I am not for sell I am not for sell Chorus: I here a voice inside It's crowning to a scream I'm not the next of them I am the first of me 'cause I can live the lie I am just what you see I'm not the next of them I am the first of me If I can't refuse The price they offer I am sure to lose And I will suffer Sell my soul to make a profit All I have to do Is make believe it's true That something I can't do That something I can't do Chorus So when the waiting's gone This time to face the truth You know your good enough Deep down inside of you You're finally woken up If only just to prove You are born to lead the way Then be the first of you (Thanks to Lord Bate for these lyrics)
