You look at me, what do you see?

A puzzle, right­-on mystery?

Stay away from the obvious

Never in the middle

So many sleepless nights, wondering aloud

If you’re through with me, haunting my very dreams

Twisted little worms swimming in my brain

Pieces of misery I have no wish to play

‘Cause I am what I am

Take it or leave it

And I’m proud to be my own belief

Take it or leave it

Pierce through my veins, stronger than hate

Desire is true and I make my own fate

I won’t give it up, refuse to give it in

No need to adjust

Forever true to myself

Shut the judgmental eyes

A silent storm echoes inside

Not a word

Not a chance

I am what I am

‘Cause I am what I am

Take it or leave it

And I’m proud to be my own belief

Take it or leave it
