I Am Only Me

If I could turn myself into sound
I would be the song to ease your pain
Be your laugh in the morning light
Your sighs throughout the night

If I could turn myself into wind
I壇 be a warm breeze caressing your skin
I壇 chase the clouds from your skies
Keep your kite way up high

But
When I awake from this fantasy
Reality waits for me
By the look in your eyes
You make me realize
That I'm only me
I am only me

If I could turn myself into God
I would change to right, what is wrong
I would answer your question why
Give you wings when you die

But
When I come out of this daze
You are there to slap away the haze
You remind
As He reminds
That I'm only me
I am only me

If I could turn into a living thing
Within your wall, I'd be a mouse listening
A bird singing high in your tree
A fish swimming deep in your stormy sea

I would be your dreams every night
The stars that fill your sky
I would be the key unlocking your door
The brass ring you are reaching for

But
You insist on telling me
These things will never be
Because I'm only me
I am only me

I still have hope that one day
I won't bow my head when I say
I'm only me
I am only me
As you are only you
I am only me



Getting Down

She said, you are strange
You give me the creeps
You look too deep
See things the others don稚 see

I do see the signs
The others leave behind
But you know, I知 blind
Because I don't see mine

I知 getting down on myself
I知 so frustrated
Getting down on myself
Self-castigated
I知 getting down on myself
I知 overrated
Getting down on myself
Self-deprecated

Bad luck, hard luck
I ain稚 got no luck
I壇 better shut up
Before I *beep* up again
I try to smile
With a knife in my back
There is a reason
I知 always wearing black

I知 getting down on myself
I知 overrated
Getting down on myself
Self-deprecated
I知 getting down on myself
Feeling outdated
Getting down on myself
Unmotivated

I won't admit attraction
As long as I live
I知 the sum of subtraction
Take and never give
Soon I値l be leaving
Who will fill this space
Who will breath the air
That I now displace

I知 on a bad bio-curve
So go ahead and kill me
Frozen in the headlights
Of my own destiny
Fill me up
My cup is half empty
I don稚 need you
I知 my own best enemy

I知 getting down on myself
Feeling outdated
Getting down on myself
Unmotivated
I知 getting down on myself
Depreciated
Getting down on myself
I知 inebriated
