Cleansation - Chimaira

What do you expect from me
Will I ever be who you want me to be 
Will I ever live up to your standards 
Will you always look down on me 
Maybe I'm not who you are 
Maybe I want to be myself 
Live the life I've always dreamed about 
This is not your path to choose 

Yes I taste it
Yes I breathe it 
Yes I hate it
Yes I feel strain from 
Our separation
But
This is my life, this is my life 
My cleansation
Our separation 
This is my life, this is my life 
It's not yours anymore 

Why did you insist on ruling 
Why did you try and control 
Why didn't you ever listen to me?
Ignored me, like a dog
Maybe I'm glad we're apart 
Maybe I'm glad we don't speak 
Anymore 
I feel better now
Now that you are gone
