This is for the "cats" feeling out of the place... Cait Sith
If you loving what I’m saying, everybody “throw it up:” like you ‘bout to lose a pound today
Take a shovel now we got a lot of ground to break
Turn the level up, we got a lot sound to make
I make a case to vacate any sentiment
Dictating that being the same equates relevance
This is my element
I was always kinda nerdy and I’m awkward
Looking at me like you working on a crossword
Team captain didn’t want me on a roster
I’m indifferent to the people all around me
I be coughing ‘cause I feeling like I’m drowning
Never had enough to be another hype beast
Ya’ll prolly find me sipping up on a Hi-C, blonde hair and spiky
Only child
Nobody hold me down. I’m so lonely now
No hope or trust, I’m so insecure
And ain’t nobody coming near when I seal the door
Was the only Asian in a place, complaining
That God ain’t awake and He so mistaken
No fascination with the world around me
As it whirls around me, it’s a culmination
Never comprehended what it meant to be normal
Never won awards, never went to the Formal
Wanted to belong but couldn’t quite “deliver”
That slice of that pie, and couldn’t bite the dinner
God, how long ‘till you getting me out?
Ain’t nobody living here that could figure me out
And then it all clicked, I found my foundation
In video games and a page of animation
This is my final fantasy
Where the world gets saved by the outcast When the hope’s in the hands of the ragtag Where the champs all handled a bad past All alone and the world seems distant
If games and anime had taught me one thing: heroes always seem different
I never liked to party, never liked to drink; I never liked debauchery, and all the things
That all the peers around me all appear to round up and they seeming happy but I’m deeply doubting it
Not saying I’m better. I’m saying I’m different, it’s not my decision for my own indifference
I want to be part of the posse but probably won’t cop an audition
Feeling out of place like a Final Fantasy main protagonist
Terra’s magic and Zidane in Tantalus, Cloud in AVALANCHE
I give you more, gladly: Link in the Kokiri Forest with Navi
Smacking the grass with the sword and it’s slashing to rupees that pop out to top off the baggie
Feeling out of place: like Sasuke is in Team 7
Like Zoro wielding three weapons. One mouth, one right, and one left hand Like Crono on board the Epoch. Going back in time in mere seconds
Like elite professions in the League of Legends ain’t nobody competing ‘cause we "reckless"
Now it’s time to switch your perspective don’t blink and miss your direction You see a curse, you better change perception, start thinking gift or a blessing
Feeling out of place all alone and the world seems distant
But games and anime had taught us one thing: heroes always seem different
Naruto taught me
Sasuke taught me
Monkey D. Luffy, Kakashi taught me Mario taught me
Crono taught me
Sanji, Nami, Yuffie all taught me Mugen taught me
Haruko taught me
Goku, Pokemon, Haruhi, taught me Final Fantasy 3, 7, 10 taught me
Red XIII, Locke, Wakka all taught me
This is my final fantasy
Where the world gets saved by the outcast
When the hope’s in the hands of the ragtag
Where the champs all handled a bad past
All alone and the world seems distant
If games and anime had taught me one thing: heroes always seem different
