Description
This song was written in the late spring/early summer of 2010. it was orinally written as an upbeat ska style melody, but after a year of never recording the full band version, this acoustic one was made as an alternative substitute that is now being considered as the opening track to the upcoming album "asleep at the wheel".
Lyrics
im not the man they think i am at home. im not the man i think i am when im sitting all alone. in yesterdays future i find tomorrows memory where everything i thought i was is lying dead somewhere in between. if i couldnt stop when i was young, oh, how can i change now whats already been done?? i lost my way, amazed at how the indirect indifference was just as vague as all the ways im cashing in on all my regrets.. I CANT BE WHAT I WANT TO BE.. cuz im NOT FREE!! instead, im trying so hard to make believe in me, you see, i cant- turn it all around or face the truth to make another day worth while, so i cant smile when im through... when all this mis-led confidence started to wear thin, my eyes were opened wide to an ego's sinking ship.. in those days i allowed myself to drown- sinkin in, i could not swim.. it took my entire life to realize i'd never learned to live.. i cant be what i want to be, cuz im not me.. instead, im trying so hard to be something, you cant see, but i wont turn it all around or face the truth.. to make another day worth while, so ill never smile when im through.. can i figure out how to find my way when i cant see the light in this darkness that ive created? im not the man they think i am at home.. im not the man i think i am when im sitting all alone.............................. . . .
