Conquistador

Dear nearly departed, we are gathered here today

To do away with guilt and shame

Why pretend we are what we are not and deny the great I am?

Sacrificing our will to be for someone else? I'll be damned

Call it a symphony for the freaks and the broken-hearted

Anyone who's just like me in this vast uncharted land

Nearly departed

Nearly departed

Feels like I've been here a long time

Trying to understand all the impressions

In all the dimensions that live in my mind

But something is always provoking me

And making me wanna say, "Fuck it all," and claw out my eyes

So there would be nothing to see here

No pain or remorse or the shame that I feel

I guess we all feel like we gotta hide sometimes

To make sure we're safer than anything ever and no one could penetrate

All of the way on the inside

There is a version of me

All of these years, he's been hiding

So well that no one could see

A scared little boy with no courage

Living alone and in fear

Hoping someone will discover

And finally set this boy-

Call it a symphony for the freaks and the broken-hearted

Anyone who's just like me in this vast uncharted land

Nearly departed

Nearly departed

Nearly departed

Nearly departed

All of the way on the inside

There is a version of me

All of these years, he's been hiding

So well that no one could see

A scared little boy with no courage

Living alone and in fear

Hoping someone will discover

And finally set this boy free
