Russ on vocals with Emissarie!

Insert - This song is about parental control. Most parents think they know what is best for their child. And maybe sometimes that is true. But parents try too hard to keep their child's head out of the clouds and feet on the ground. What's wrong with dreaming? What is wrong with striving for something "unrealistic?" Breaking away from such forceful efforts to diminish one's hopes and dreams is what this song is all about. Russ wrote this song when he was breaking into the music industry with his talented band Emissarie, who broke up when Russ quit due to personal issues, and reformed into Harbor Royale.

Lyrics:
You think you've got me figured out
Well let me tell you my friend
You couldn't be further from the truth

Let me live my life
What makes you think that you
Know what is best for me

Chorus:
You live your life stuck in your little world
Oblivious to all the secrets
I'll never conform to the path you've set
Cuz I don't wanna be a victim like you

Get ready for!
Your first loss!
You were the victor
Of so many battles
But this one's mine
I won the war

*CHORUS*

It doesn't even matter if I
Reach my greatest height
Youl'll never be satisfied
With the choices I have made

But I'll write you off and
I'll let you know
When I care
I don't give a shit

*EPIC CHOIR*

Leave me alone
You need to let go

*CHORUS*

I'm tired of struggling
I just wanna make myself clear
Let you know that I'm happy where I am
And I'm just fine
Just fine
Just fine
