lyrics

You look at me like I'm an alien from outer space
But you don't even know me, you're not living in my place
While you're jumping to conclusions; I see the irony
How you think that passing judgment makes you holier than me

No box for me
I'll keep on doing just as I please
They don't make one that fits me comfortably
I'll just stay who I am
I am

Don't tell me what I'm thinking you don't live inside my head
I'm not feeling any conflict when I put myself to bed
If you're multiplying two and two and coming up with three
Don't tell me that it's my problem.
Don't tell me what I can be
I'll keep on doing just as I please
They don't make one that fits me comfortably
I'll just stay who I am
I am

I'll take my square peg and put it in a star
I'll drink my orange juice and eat it with a snickers bar
I don't see what it has to do with you

No box for me
I'll keep on doing just as I please
They don't make one that fits me comfortably
I'll just stay who I am
I am

Don't tell me that I cannot love the people that I do
Or think that I’ll discard them 'cause they don't appeal to you
They don't fit one category and they're living happily
They don't fit in little boxes; they're the perfect friends for me

No box for me
I'll keep on doing just as I please
They don't make one that fits me comfortably
I'll just stay who I am
I am
Oooo ooooo I am

Char MacKay Spokane, Washington

I’ve been writing and performing songs at conventions since 1995. Through The Door is a collection of some of the most popular songs, inspired by authors (like Lois McMaster Bujold) TV (Star Trek, Game of Thrones), gaming, and general silly things like nursery rhymes and my take on the world. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed writing them. ... more
