Fate
The world is changing,
So am I.
What are your pronouns?
Who am I?
The world keeps changing,
So do I.
I’m sick of pronouns,
Am I that guy?
Do we live life,
Or is it fate?
Can we change?
Is it too late?
I don’t know,
Kurt never will.
Change is constant:
So am I.
We’re evolving.
But am I?
Im always learning,
Down to try.
What’s this yearning?
Who am I?
Is this just life?
Or is it fate?
Have I changed?
Am I too late?
I don’t know,
But Dave does.
I’m a new day rising,
Foo would say.
A new horizon.
There’s songs to play.
Kurt died for that.
Dave would know.
What is life?
Is it just fate?
I can’t control this,
Now she’s late.
New horizons come so fast.
Who you were is in the past.
Just like Kurt.
But Dave refuses to be.
I ain’t them, I can’t pretend.
I’ll live my life the best I can.
What more can I do?
Who are you?
Is this my life?
Or is it fate?
I’ve lost control,
Of this debate.
Life can change so very fast,
It will kick you in the ass.
Which can make you wonder.
Is this life?
Or is it fate?
Can I change?
Or has life passed me by?
I accept my fate.
I deserve it.
Lord knows I’ve earned it.
It’s my life.
I wrote my fate.
Shame is,
Now it’s too late.
I won’t be great.
But I’ll do the best I can.
Cause I’m a man.
But I can’t help but wonder.
Is this life?
Or is it fate?
It’s both.
Control them, control you.
Control you.
Control you.
Control you.
You know you can.
It’s your life.
Control your fate.

I suspect we all have a lot more questions than answers about life, and you capture that here. It's all about questioning, wondering.
The verses about pronouns feel only loosely connected to the rest to me. About a changing world, certainly, but less directly tied to "fate".
I like the shorter length lines for this. I feel like the music will need to be very moody and atmospheric, and the shorter lines leave room for that.
I'm not sure about the "accept my fate","deserve it","earned it" only because there's nothing in the song to explain that. They kind of pop up out of nowhere. But as individual lines they're fine, and it could be just me being picky there.
