about

Semi-autobiographical, completely poetic. A song for anyone who struggles to fit in.

lyrics

There's music always playing in my head and
It's driving me mad
The people always put me under pressure
There's better days to be had
I don't see why I have to keep explaining
Why I am what I am
There'll come a time when everybody needs me
And I'll be stuck in the sand

Nobody sees the truth; all they see is a freak
They think I'm crazy but I'm just unique
Even though I'm living high I'm never living free
Sometimes I feel nobody understands me

Some things I'm sure are easily remembered
Some things I’d rather forget
I’ve spent my life trying to deliver
And I ain’t finished yet
Got time now to make up for the wrongs that
pushed me out and brought me down
No more will I be sitting on the couch, I’m
taking over this town

When I ask for water they give me diet coke
Then they laugh it off, ‘cause they think that it's a joke
Even though I'm living high I'm never living free
Sometimes I feel nobody understands me

Looking back on when I was younger
I didn’t get much respect
All the kids thought I was just a madman
No great achievements to expect
Well I won't forget to thank them in my speech when
I become a millionaire
Although I'll probably just remind them
They never helped me get there

It’s a funny old thing how time treats the pain
Long ago there was sunshine, but now there’s only rain
Even though I'm living high I'm never living free
Sometimes I feel nobody understands me
