	Story Behind the Song "I was tired of people telling me how to live my life and what was going to happen if I didn't live it 'their way'. So I decided to write a song about it. The lyrics really just throw dirt into the faces of those who have tried to push me around. The song itself took about 6 or 7 takes in the studio because of the demanding bass drum parts. We were all tired because we had been at it non stop for about 17 hours, but we finally got it. Austin is amazing at stuff like that."- Darren Shepherd Lyrics People are just too interested in what you have to hide. What's going on inside their head, what's going on in my mind. Is it the way I walk and talk is it the way I live life. Is it the way I flip them off whenever they try to ask why. And every day and every way is just a waste of time. When I try to think about it more it makes me blind. And I hate it when the anger just builds up inside. Can't they see that I'm alive? Why do they wonder about me? Why do they make me try to see? Why do they make me live this life that I don't want to live? But they're all dead inside to me. Because I'm who I want to be. So here's the hint I make them see---I'LL LIVE HOW I WANT TO LIVE!!! How do I make them understand that what they're doing is wrong. They're judging me for who I am and how I live on my own. They say that one day I will learn and find out how to live right. But they'll find the tables turned whenever they look in my eyes... I tried to tell them they were jaded but they fucked up now. I can't forgive them for the things they've said and broken down. I'm sick and tired of being helped and being pushed around. What do they think about me now?
