Be That


I have a tendency to envy people that I know

Some folks I know live inside my head

I feel too ashamed to say their names

Some things are best left unsaid


My mind seems programmed to compare

What I do with those who do it best

If I let myself stay in there

I'd prob'ly drink myself to death


I can never be that; be that as it may

I have something inside that I just have to say

I can never be that; be that as it may

I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away

I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away


A voice tells me I'm not enough

A voice tells me I don't measure up

A voice tells me just give it up

I say enough is enough


I may never be that; be that as it may

I have something inside that I just have to say

I may never be that; be that as it may

I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away

I have something inside and I'll die, unless I give it away

I Am Not Alone

  If I were you and you were me There the two of us would be Standing on the inside looking out I would know and you would too What the words and attitudes  Are really all about Really all about I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this life together There are storms we all weather I believe we'd be the better If we let our guard down And secrets were found out As the masks hit the ground We all cry out I am not alone..... I am not alone ...... I am not alone I've got a mean little menace trapped in the walls of my senses I drive myself plumb senseless  When I try to please him  I've tried to drink it away I've fallen to my knees and prayed Sometimes I just want to say I don't know how to beat him  I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this li...
