Story Behind The Song
An angsty teen writing of conformity... ironically, the use of an "auto-tuner" in the song is not a usual artist technique of his, but rather a mockery of today's pop music.

Lyrics
I wake up I see, this shadow hanging over me.
Telling me to believe, in the things I see on TV.
But I know society gets between by breaking down my honesty.
I just receive these thoughts; I bleed and never see a drop.
So stop, collaborate and listen.
I know some words are missing.
But if you just fill in the rest.
Maybe it'll, make sense.
Chorus:
'Cause I know that in reality
I am the epitome of me
I know it sounds silly
But I am one in a million, just like you
I write down these words, you say that they're not even yours
You say that I'm polluted, that my mind might have been looted
I agree to disagree, that we've got freedom of speech
Honestly that right is bogus; your influence has sold us
