"No Love No Light"

You are not the clothes you wear
You're not a head of hair
You're more than just the way they stare
If beauty is defined
It can't be drawn out by lines
It's hidden deep inside

So much time spent
Trying to look the part
So much time went
By the standards they impart
Don't let it shape you
Don't let them mistake you
You can only lose that game
If you play

Why would you ever second guess
Yourself if only to impress
Some other peoples' emptiness
Don't give them the time of day
If it's wasting yours away
You can love and not be led astray

So much time spent
Trying to look the part
So much time went
By the standards they impart
Don't let it shape you
Don't let them mistake you
You can only lose that game
If you play

You can't disguise me
You can't divide me
I don't care if I don't fit into your plan
Where I refuse to settle
I will stand

So much time spent
Some much time went
Left unchecked
And at a loss of self-respect
You gave yourself down to the bone
And no love was shown
And no light was shone
