Here I Am, Who I Am

When I look at my life,
I know that something is not right.
Do I give up the war
Or do I keep up the fight?
How will I overcome this fear?
How can I look away when it's so clear?
What is this life that I must live in this shell?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who I am?
Do I know I am?
How many tears can I cry
When so many have fallen from my eye?
Why must I continue to hide
From what I truly am inside?
Why does what's right always seem so wrong?
I have been searching much too long.
Searching for truth, searching for love.
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
Do I know who I am?
Do I know who I am?
I just gotta look inside for who I am.
So I'm just gonna face the world with who I am
So here I am!
Now you know who I am,
Now you know who I am.
Now I know who I am,
Now I know who I am.
Oo

Rules
03:16

Why is there a set of rules for everything that happens in life?
Nothing can be done without a hand to walk you through it.
A way to write, a way to sing, a way not to do everything.
But what if I didn't have to be told,
What if I just knew it?
I'm not tall enough, I'm not in time,
My words don't mean anything without a perfect rhyme.
It's hard to share your work without the fear of rejection.
You have to fit the mold to fit their image of perfection.
No, that's not me.
I don't need your textbooks,
I don't need straight hair,
I don't need instructions,
I don't need your written laws
I just need to break the rules and just do me.
Artists these days don't care about the lyrics
They just care about the beat not singing what they're feeling.
So what do I gotta do, just bang a bass drum
And sing about drugs or something else dumb?
No.
That's not me.
So if I get success and fame and notoriety
I'm not gonna do it by the rules of someone else's stupid game.
Lead with my soul and lead with my mind
What I feel is what I write, it creates a better vibe
Nobody can't tell me that I'm doing is wrong 'cause
What is right and what is wrong?
Where does it come from?
I don't aim for what's right
I just do what's true to me,
Then hopefully you'll see
Right through, inside of me.
I don't need a romance
I don't need to be tall
I don't need your advice
I don't need your point of view
I just need to break the rules and just do me.
Why can't we open up our eyes to what's behind this world's disguise?
Desensitized,
Unrecognized.
Zombified
By what's televised, no.
No, that's not me.
I don't need negativity
I don't need your shade
I don't need your input
I don't need your rules...
Oo Whoa
I don't need your point of view
And I don't need your autotune
I don't need your advice
And I don't need your help
I just need to break the rules and just...
And just.
Do me.
Mm badndada bada.

Lines in the Sky
03:53

I walk outside, I feel the breeze
The sun is bright, the world is free
I look up, I see no clouds
Just the lines in the sky
That captivate my eye
It's from a plane or so they say
That must be true. It's from a plane
But could I dare to change my mind
About the lines in the sky
With deeper truths to hide
I wonder if someone will behold
The things that we are never told
Questions fill my clouded mind
To remain unanswered until the day we die
All we know is we know not
Tighten the chains of what we're taught
But if we as one break the lock and let all the answers free
We control our future, we decide what's real
I wonder if we were ever told
The things that we choose not to hold
Questions fill my clouded mind
Maybe to be answered right before our eyes
Maybe to be answered right before our eyes
Simulate reality, create model society
Common core makes me unsure
Of who I'm really working for
Is it for me, is it for them?
Is it to nurture leaves and stem
Or concrete walls and war machines?
Is this real or lucid dreams?
Now my brain is on the go
That's probably where they want me though
Subliminally feeding me
These thoughts that never came to me
I would never question, though
I'm crazy or I'm in the know
And if you know what you should not
Are you insane or touched by God?
To remain unanswered until the day we die
Maybe to be answered right before our eyes
Maybe to be answered...
Lines in the Sky
