These are lyrics for a song. A friend wrote a beautiful melody and recorded it. I then wrote these lyrics to go with the melody. You can listen to the music to it @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZphVqGer5M. Thanks for the read guys and please let me know what you think.*


-Verse 1-
I know that everyone has an answer for me,
Just keep it to yourself
Everyone thinks that they know what's best for me
They don't know me at all
You think that everything you do benefits me,
You're just out for yourself
Every time you try to do something for me
I pay for it in the end

-Chorus-
You think you know it all
But you could not be more wrong
I can see right through your wall
'Cause
I'm smarter than you all think
Standing on top of the brink
It's kinda like Tesla's dream

-Short Verse 2-
I'm not afraid to die
When I'm gone you'll cry
My name
To the stars
'Cause that is who you are
But no one else can see
That life is energy
While I'm
Everywhere
You'll remain unaware ('cause)

-Chorus-
You think you know it all
But you could not be more wrong
I can break right through your wall
'Cause
I'm smarter than you all think
Standing on top of the brink
It's kinda like Tesla's dream

-Bridge-
When I'm gone
You'll cry my name and...
When I'm gone
You will remain unaware
That while you selfishly
waste all of my time
comparing me to you
I pay for it in the end.

-Verse 1-
I know that everyone has an answer for me,
Just keep it to yourself
Everyone thinks that they know what's best for me
They don't know me at all
You think that everything you do benefits me,
You're just out for yourself
Every time you try you do something for me
I pay for it in the end

Today is the day
That I find myself
Today is the day
I clean off my shelf

Today is the day
That I see the truth
Today is the day
I tie my own shoes

Today is the day
That defines my life
Today is the day
I fight my last fight

Today is the day
That I find my path
Today is the day
I get off my ***

I lost myself a time ago, I don't know who I am
I used to be someone else, I used to be a better man
It just got so complicated, it was more than I could take
So I slipped further away with every decision that I made
I never thought about the consequence as I lived day by day
I never considered the man I'd become or the bed I'd lay
Now I try so f#@king hard to remember who I used to be
Cause I don't recognize the man in the mirror staring back at me

Welcome to my crazy life
Welcome to the fear I hide inside
Do you know what it's like
To hear the screams I hide inside

I try to hold my head up high and I try to chase my dreams
But it seems the more I try I just get by with broken wings
So I find it hard to get up and face another day
I just lay there in my bed wishing that I could stay
At least I can say that I have perpetual love
Thanks to my heart, our two awesome boys, and my angel from above
They give me reason to live on and they give me reason to breathe
They are my motivation when I'm out of gasoline

Welcome to my crazy life
Welcome to the fear I hide inside
Do you know what it's like
To hear the screams I hide inside

I began making changes in my life in the past few months
I quit the drugs and the lies along with other stuff
Though its still hard to get by I swear that I won't quit
I'll keep fighting the urge everyday and dealing with the ****
And if I never make it big and no one knows my name
I'll still know that I tried and be happy just the same
Because I'll still have the love of my friends and family
No matter how successful I am they will always be there for me

Welcome to my crazy life
Welcome to the fear I hide inside
Do you know what it's like
To hear the screams I hide inside

I am a man of unknown fortune
Who lives life by the turn of the sun
I guess I will always be the one
Lost in life and known by none.

My mind is a scary place
One of a completely different taste
Most of its use has gone to waste
And disappeared without a trace

My heart is one of purity
I wear it on my sleeve for all to see
It branches out just like a tree
Sadly this is the downfall of me

My soul is lost as I like to say
In a new place each and every day
I couldn't say where it is today
I wish it would choose someplace and stay

I am a man of unknown fortune
Who lives my life by the turn of the sun
I guess I will always be the one
Lost in life and known by none.
