Fish eat cat - Identity Crisis

I was just floating along
Through the currents, whisked through the winds
Reassurance I could've been him

Pushing carts through the lot
A race track was built in my mind
With the wood from the temple
Slash and burned, to make haste of time

After all of these years
Suffocating through your hugs
But you meant them so I let you go
Conditioned with you as the judge

How long have I bent my knees
For fear if I'd change I'd displease
All the ones who'd adored me
To end up disposed in a wildfire no one elsе can see

I thought I was floating a long
But I was still clipped to the tree
A hanger at thе back my of my neck
Where the elders could stand back and
All watch this person they'd crafted
Scared to step out of the shell they were granted
'Cause I don't want to lose the ones I love
