Self​-​Fulfilling Prophecy

from John Vieira IV: An Orange Haze of Dawn by John Vieira

/

lyrics

I've been called a creep so many times since my youth,
I shrugged it off but I squirm knowing it's so close to the truth.

Is this prophecy fulfilled?
Against my own free will?

I can't deny it's changed the way I see the world,
I can't look her in the eye and respect that she is a girl.

If she could read my mind how would she react?
I'm a creep and that's a fact!

It started off as some kind of joke,
laughing and killing with what they spoke
and telling me that if you can't take it,
you become it.
Where is the sense in that?

Burdened by guilt and self-digust I softly implode,
The shame has become too much since my life was cruelly exposed.

What'd you expect from one so odd?
His kind nature was a facade!

He tried his best to hold onto normalcy,
but the jokes kept on screaming in his head mercilessly!
Brain breaking, losing his will,
he said, "they were right all along. How could I have been so blind?"
