It may seem frivolous It may seem cruel It may appear false It could appear so true All I am All I am All I am All I ever was All I am This is all that I am I could say I was lying I could pass it off as youthful ignorance I could take it all back I should leave it in the box of ideas But once it's left my lips I feel the need to cope I feel the urge to explain I feel driven to show you how I feel left to my own devices I feel the words on my tongue I feel the passion drain I cannot change this future I cannot change this path I cannot change my past I cannot melt this steel beam It's the core of my being It's all that I am
