Alamo

Please give me a reason to believe all the lies 'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise Abusing their authority to proselytize But nothing they report to me could change my mind I need a vacation from the way things have been Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live? Mm Live my life I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo Please give me a reason to give up on myself You can tell me that it's treason, this is stand and rebel I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell, mm And goodbye I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo I know that on the surface it might seem like I'm just fine But I can't eat, I barely sleep, sometimes I wanna run and hide Feel like I'm dying in this cage, my soul is trapped, I feel confined And I just wish they'd let me out so I could finally live my life I know that on the surface it might seem like I'm just fine But I can't eat, I barely sleep, sometimes I wanna run and hide Feel like I'm dying in this cage, my soul is trapped, I feel confined And I just wish they'd let me out so I could finally live my life I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw I'm not gonna give in, if I have to fight Then I'm willing to give my life, rather die Than lay down on my back, got no white flag to throw This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo --- Alamo - Alec Benjamin
