You taught me early on
So many things I do are wrong
I should just do what I'm told
And my desires are unnatural
Oh Benjamin
How dare you?!
I can't be myself when you're around
If I hide myself I can't be found
I'm so far away from what you tolerate
But can't keep up this masquerade
I won't hide myself anymore
And I'm taking back my name
You've passed your sickness unto me
Now I'm appalled by what I see
It's probably just jealousy
But if I don't speak up I might crumble
Oh Benjamin
Shame on you!
I can't be myself when you're around
If I hide myself I can't be found
I'm so far away from what you tolerate
But can't keep up this masquerade
I won't hide myself anymore
And I'm taking back my name
Benjamin
I'll pray for you
