lyrics

i need to understand the world that i’m running into
even if it leads me deeper to uncomfortable truths
working back through the layers it’s a wonderful view
but every now and then you’re bound to stumble into taboo
taboo is a dangerous turf to defend
even when you’re explaining it perfectly
it gets translated in their heads
in a way that it makes sense within their framework of beliefs
but some of them may do it purposely
turning strawmen into stakes made for burning me
motivated by certainty
if I disagree with anything they say that makes me a racist, it worries me
that it’s become unsafe to diverge, I see
my family could get hurt from this chase for the purity
this place is absurdity
everyone thinks the same about everything while praising their diversity

where do I go
when my truth can not be told
like my mind is a disease
quarantine
where do I go
when virtue is on patrol
and i just disagree
quarantine

i’m not your enemy, nah
just trying to find some freedom

oh great, everybody’s woke
now you can all pretend to be offended by a joke
find someone thinking different, quickly hang him from a rope
how dare they not celebrate the emperor’s new clothes!
ever since I can remember
my mind made me an outsider so i didn’t fit
told me I was a genius, i tried to resist
because it gets lonely all alone inside of your head
i wanted to be like other kids
but didn’t want to get lost while I was finding that bridge
decided not to hide the thoughts that I have
cause the sacrifice has a price that’s twice as big
so i spoke my mind despite what they said
my whole life but now i might be quiet instead
cause how many death threats do I need to get
before I consider that one of them might be legit?

where do I go
when my truth can not be told
like my mind is a disease
quarantine
where do I go
when virtue is on patrol
and i just disagree
quarantine

x2
i’m not your enemy, nah
just trying to find some freedom

where oh where do I go
