Comfort of security

Opportunity, I think I felt it swim by me in the sea of
mediocrity. Will I be satisfied or regret the things I never
tried? Captured by conformity, settle for the security? I'd
rather die on my feet, then live on my knees. You go join the
enemy, I'll stay here and fight. Monotony doesn't seem to be
healthy. Why trade your liberty? Why buy the cow when you can
get the milk for free? Get off of me. I don't need a pet monkey,
or self inflicted boundaries. Don't tell me that you love me and
I'll tell you no lies.
