It's the mark I wear so well

Giving me proof that there's room to grow

Accepting the fact that all the others have changed

I know why I've stayed the same

A narrow path in which I lead

Always to remain, going at my own speed

Opinions that don't decay

Learning how to accept these things

I could never change

I continue to grow

It's the mark I wear so well

Giving me proof that there's room to grow

Accepting the fact that all the others have changed

I know why I've stayed the same

A narrow path in which I lead

Always to remain, going at my own speed

Opinions that don't decay

Learning how to accept these things

I continue to grow

Staring down the belly of the beast isn't as easy as it used to be

But the minute takes its toll, I thought I knew

Haunting my life, and stealing my time

It all comes together in my mind

And I know what awaits me in the shadows of my everyday

I stand for what I believe, and I won't turn my back on my beliefs

This is my life

Proud of who I am, and who I remain to be

The one person that won't ever forget me

And if there came a time, something were to change

It would only be the way others were born to be

Distant is abandonment, the closest my commitment
