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.

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 Lines in the Sky
