My father always thought

If i was strong and fought

Not like some albatross, id begin

To fit in

Look at me powerless and holding my breath

Trying hard to repress what scared him to death

It was never easy to be his type of man

To breathe freely was not in his plan

And the best part of me

Is what he wouldn't see

I'm not my fathers son
我不是我父亲期望中的模样
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
我也没有如他想象中那般成长
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
没有斯巴达般的勇武，也缺乏约伯那样的耐性
Still couldn't be the one
我还是无法成为他那种人
To echo what he'd done
去重复他那样的人生
And mirror what was not in me
去让我的生活锁住我的心声
So i jumped in my dreams and found an escape

Maybe i went to extremes of leather and lace

But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground

And the air seemed lighter
空气更清爽
I was profound and i felt so proud
这对我意义重大，我也很自豪
Just to live out loud

我不是我父亲期望中的模样
I'm not image of what he dreamed of
我也没有如他想象中那般成长
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job

The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind

Wore me down

To see

That i could just be me
