On Being A Bastard Lyrics - Coalesce

Farewell friend, until tomorrow 

Where you are still nitpicking our diets and names 

The potential is still there 

Yet it's somehow unexpected 

I'll show you courage if you show me responsibility 

Something lost long ago in trying 

To please everyone in pleasing ourselves 

If it feels good it must be right, right? 

So what's a child? 

A fetus or kink in sexual revolution and what am I? 

A threat, a kink in political consistency 

More name games and more personal choice 

So where's mine? 

Or are you to deal me such luxuries? 

Call me what I am and mean every word 

Be prepared to take yours 

You see you're not alone 

I'll show you responsibility if you show me reasoning 

Something you never possessed 

You always coveted anger and vengeance 

But for what? 

One less bite, one less burden 

I'm sick of being the bastard 

Keep your fight and know I'll keep mine
