Light Infection

A future that feels impossibly long
Things I want to know and do
I won’t let you get in my way
I don’t need your rehearsed answers
I want to see what’s beyond the shattered door

If I’m protected, I won’t understand
Even with strict rules
I can’t overcome this urge

It feels like I’m infected
To the point of rebellion
It’s not weird at all, right?
Everyone has this kind of light infection

Just being labeled as 'for now'
Without knowing what a family is
I don’t want to believe in the right answer
It feels like I’m just chewing on the gum I was given
Even though it has no flavor
This urge won’t be fooled

If I have to curl up, I’d rather rage
I want to throw away everything that hits the mark

Yeah, I want to blow away my reason
I want to be lost, I want to be caught in between
I don’t need a heart that doesn’t care
I want to struggle, I want to fight
Yeah, I want to break it all
The rules I was given
The fixed ideas
Just push them away.
