"Conquistador" lyrics

Dear nearly departed
We are gathered here today
To do away with guilt and shame

Why pretend we are what we are not and deny the great I am?
Sacrificing our will to be for someone else? I'll be damned

Call it a symphony for the freaks and the broken hearted
Anyone who's just like me in this vast uncharted land
Nearly departed
Nearly departed

Feels like I've been here a long time
Trying to understand all the impressions in all the dimensions that live in my mind
But something is always provoking me
And making me wanna say "fuck it all" and claw out my eyes

So there would be nothing to see here
No pain or remorse or the shame that I feel
I guess we all feel like we gotta hide sometimes
To make sure we're safer than everything ever and no one could penetrate

(All of the way on the inside
There is a version of me
All of these years he's been hiding
So well that no one could see
A scared little boy with no courage
Living alone and in fear
Hoping someone would discover
And finally set this boy...)

Call it a symphony for the freaks and the broken hearted
Anyone who's just like me in this vast uncharted land
Nearly departed
Nearly departed
Nearly departed
Nearly departed

All of the way on the inside
There is a version of me
All of these years he's been hiding
So well that no one could see
A scared little boy with no courage
Living alone and in fear
Hoping someone would discover
And finally set this boy free
