You look at me, what do you see?
A puzzle, righton mystery?
Stay away from the obvius
Never in the middle

So many sleepless nights, wondering aloud
If you're through with me, haunting my very dreams
Twisted little worms swimming in my brain
Pieces of misery I have no wish to play

'Cause I am what I am
Take it or leave it
And I'm proud to be my own belief
Take it or leave it

Pierce through my veins, stronger than hate
Desire is true and I make my own fate
I won't give it up, refuse to give it in

No need to adjust
Forever true to myself
Shut the judgmental eyes
A silent storm echoes inside

Not a word
Not a chance
I am what I am

'Cause I am what I am
Take it or leave it
And I'm proud to be my own belief
Take it or leave it
