I'm Through Of Playing By The Rules Of Someone Else's Game
I just spent 3 hours on the phone with Aaron.
The first hour, he was mostly distracted playing computer games.
The second two hours, we debated religion and society. We have such opposing views. It's so frustrating, because he's so religious, and I used to be... but I don't... I *can't* believe those things anymore. But it's such a huge point of conflict, because these aren't just tiny "who's paying for dinner?" sort of issues... these are huge questions of morality and society and the greater good. Altruism versus selfishness, right versus wrong, moral versus immoral... annoying crap like that.
I can't be religious anymore, because I can't believe all they say. It is absolutely impossible for me to agree with everything the Church teaches. I'd much rather be a relatively moral agnostic than a hypocritical Catholic, and those are my only choices anymore.
Something has changed within me,
Somthing is not the same.
I'm through with playing my the rules
Of someone else's game.
Too late for second guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep...
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes...
And leap!
It's time to try Defying Gravity!
I think I'll try Defying Gravity,
And you can't pull me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so.
Somethings I cannot change
But 'til I try I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost.
Well, if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity!
Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity!
And you can't pull me down!
