Away From Me

In the distance there lies a village where bigotry and hatred are non-existent
I’m sick of all the fighting and I’m sick of all the lies ponies are so full of shit with their heads held high
Remove my cutie mark, I’ve been branded with this curse
Erase my inner flaws I’m no better than the dirt I walk upon this earth I’m on
Unify my soul and work as one

So please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I wanna be
I cannot live like this anymore, could you step back and imagine your life be out of control
Your future’s not yours to call your own
So please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I want to be

I was taught being different was something special, now I know that life without it is essential
I was lost, and now I can see, the answer to life is now in front of me

Take me to your cave, start the ceremony
You grab your staff and magic emanates around me
Your powers grasp, remove this sin that brands my body
And keep pulling until it’s gone

My identity is barred, my past is separated
Replaced with a new mark I am assimilated
No longer ignorant for I have been manipulated
My new journey has just begun

So please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I wanna be
I cannot live like this anymore, could you step back and imagine your life be out of control
Your future’s not yours to call your own
So please take this away from me, I’m not the colt I want to be

I was taught being different was something special, now I know that life without it is essential
I was lost, and now I can see, the answer to life is now in front of me

I’m in a dark room all alone with speakers blaring shit
They threw me in a fucking cage - why do I deserve this?
Propaganda fills my mind with methodology
Is this the pain I must endure to join society?
