Not the One

They were giving it away, so I took more of the darkness
Will walking away now make me more of a target?
Screaming «Fight!"to the faces and «Stand up for yourself kid!»
Am I much more of a sinner because I never did?
I’m not the one you want
And (If you’re standing beside me for all that I stand for
Please whisper it now so I know why I’m here)
The pages of anguish that sing to your core
Are just layers of ink that protect me from fear
I’m not the one you want
I want the answers — I want to be special
But who I am now is just too small to measure
I’m sorry I can’t be the someone you follow
Become it for both of us — lead me tomorrow
I’m not the one
