You weren't looking for me,
You were just looking for someone.
Well, I hope that you found 'em,
That he's not just another one.

I don't want to confine you,
I just want to release you.
I'm not trying to define you,
I just want to unleash you!

Because I'm not looking for someone,
'cause I know I am the only one.
That can break you away from 'em,
'cause I'm not just anyone.

You can be so much more!
Than the best you think you can do.
Take what the fates have in store,
But don't let them limit you.

I don't want to confine you,
I just want to release you.
I'm not trying to define you,
I just want to unleash you!

Be my phoenix and rise up,
Burn away all the agony.
When the tears have all dried up,
The sweet taste of the epiphony.

I don't need anyone.
To show the world I'm someone.
I don't need you or anyone.
Because the suffering's just begun.

You.
Can't.
Break.
Me.

You.
Can't.
Change.
Me.

I.
Can't.
Have.
You.

You.
Can't.
Save.
Me.

Penned by my hand on the 7th of Ero, in the year 829 AF.
