lyrics

Does This Effectively Hide My Thunder? - by Brian Vernon

Said i know who i am's not who they want me to be
was never good with a tie or the idea of greed
perpetuating a lie, a false ideology
that me or money's worth more than all you, my family
when those who raised me up right were bent or broken by grief
got rescued by my friends did not become all that i hate
we've failed for so long now to pledge our own identity
there's pride in knowing my soul has never been on a receipt
------------------------------------------------
Do you know who you are or who you don't want to be?
when you get cast to the side because they don't want to see
anyone in their play who acts like you or me
well I've read the reviews & I'd rather be free

Take the books they used to grow us, leave the pages where they lie,
tear the letters words & phrases, leaving nothing to decry,
all this empty, all this soulless, written history of why,
we must aspire without condolence to be birds that cannot fly,

we are more than what they made us
it's ok cause you are with us
--YOU ARE ONE OF US--
