歌詞

Someone built this hierarchy

I looked up at its hollow throne

Lined up, judged, and ranked again

How’s the view from way up there?

We all look up at the same sky

Yet every heart sees something else

Every time they tell me who to be

I lose another piece of myself

They built it higher, brick by brick

But I don’t believe the answer’s there

Someone drew this hierarchy

I won’t play their game of comparison

I don’t care who’s above or below

I just wanna be myself

You can’t measure what I’m worth

This belief is mine to keep

I don’t mind the longer road

If it leads me to my own tomorrow

Every hand that’s reaching out

Is chasing someone else’s dream

If the future is just a fight to win

I’d rather tear it all apart

If we’re doomed to compare ourselves forever

Then let the whole thing fall apart

I spent my life standing on my toes

Until I learned it meant nothing at all

Someone drew this hierarchy

I won’t play their game of comparison

I don’t care who’s above or below

I just wanna be myself

You can’t measure what I’m worth

This belief is mine to keep

I don’t mind the longer road

If it leads me to my own tomorrow

Names and titles fade away

Carried off by passing winds

In the end, what truly stays

Is the way we chose to live

Someone drew this hierarchy

I won’t play their game of comparison

I don’t care who’s above or below

I just wanna be myself

Someone drew this hierarchy

I won’t look back anymore

I’m enough the way I am

And that’s the only truth I need
