That's where I'd be

That's where I'd be
Yeah, that's where I let myself be me

Turning thirty eight and didn't make it
Into the league of the rich and their friends who fake it
From Siglap to Sakae to Shinjuku it's not a lot of world
But when it's all up in your face you see the blood behind the jewel

In sharing the treasure in kissing the danger
In living the guilt of the silent reprove
In learning the touch on the back of a stranger
Memories locked away in tattoos
That's where the world labels my sins
That's where I leant that's where I'd be
That's where I stop hating my skin
That's where I let myself be me

Turning my face away from the struggles I was hiding inside hoping no one heard my voice fumble
Pretending to crave what success desires while fighting the thought I was born for defeat
Never asking why the rest have it easy until the dark night of my soul
Embracing myself into a tumble I'm falling free but in control

That's where the world labels my sins
That's where I leant that's where I'd be
That's where I stop hating my skin
That's where I let myself be me
