[Verse 1] |
[00:02.15] |
|
[00:03.50] |
Everything I am, and everything I want to be |
[00:08.70] |
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me |
[00:15.00] |
Everything I am, and everything I want to be |
[00:21.07] |
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me |
[00:27.04] |
Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall |
[00:33.17] |
I am no role model, I am not Mr. Perfect |
[00:35.95] |
Been bitten a couple of times and I did deserve it |
[00:38.98] |
Everyday livin' and learnin' through these written verses |
[00:42.03] |
My life is a sacrifice, I wonder is it worth it? |
[00:45.21] |
People can change, I'm living physical proof |
[00:47.53] |
I'm not important, or special or different from you |
[00:50.31] |
To other people, I may seem like a good adviser |
[00:53.92] |
But to myself I feel like a dirty womanizer |
[00:56.99] |
I am just a man, I will never be a celebrity |
[00:59.67] |
That is a mantra I will cling to the death of me |
[01:02.61] |
Don't wanna feed my kids the very treachery they fed to me |
[01:05.65] |
Preferably the aim is equality eventually |
[01:08.59] |
Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you |
[01:11.64] |
Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable |
[01:14.53] |
I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man |
[01:17.33] |
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am |
[01:33.28][01:21.17] |
Everything I am, and everything I want to be |
[01:38.87][01:26.64] |
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me |
[01:45.28] |
Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall |
[01:50.80] |
Listen close to the words that were sang in the chorus |
[01:53.71] |
There's a big difference between fans and supporters |
[01:56.82] |
Never asked to be scrutinized or consumerized |
[02:00.31] |
Or treated differently to any other human life |
[02:03.09] |
Most don't, but some do and it saddens me |
[02:05.84] |
Force fed celebrity to subdue our humanity |
[02:08.69] |
See the false image depicted and think it's purity |
[02:11.62] |
When beneath that image they hold more insecurities |
[02:14.67] |
Than you do, but sometimes it's hard to tell who's who |
[02:17.91] |
There's more to life than Twitter followers and YouTube views |
[02:21.23] |
And if I came across like I was cocky I am sorry |
[02:23.58] |
You were born original so please don't die a copy |
[02:26.53] |
Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you |
[02:29.65] |
Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable |
[02:32.68] |
I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man |
[02:35.23] |
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am |
[02:39.20] |
Everything I am, and everything I want to be |
[02:44.59] |
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me |
[02:50.53] |
Everything I am, and everything I want to be |
[02:56.51] |
I put it in your hands, you could open up to me |
[03:02.48] |
Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall |
