Be Yourself
Jumped in, the feeling never felt warming
closed my eyes and hope for better days
storms came, I swam and swam to safety
the ocean is very deep, how far you willing to go
Life is beautiful on the surface
within, many things swim about
pretty fish, big sharks, whales
who am I today
Others will tell you you're this and that
truth is, everyone is limitless
what do your mind seek
I've searched and looked
exiled and lost
wronged and right
laughed and cried, today I made the sun shine
outside society says I'm a joke
deep inside i see someone who the world will never know
break me down, tear my image apart
see my smile laugh at my tears
you and your crew, society have the last laugh
haha hehe...jokes on me
Until you need inner me for your benefit
you thought I was playing joker, in reality i was looking for me
As a kid, the world detached
read the papers, I'm the highlight of catastrophe
The man who lost of it all
hes this, hes that the snake the mouse the cat
but still got the one thing i need and always wanted
which is me
Loss is a blessing, fuel to your fire
Be yourself i say, nothing can go wrong
society already casted you out
