This song is about personal identity. It is about coming to terms with what people think of you versus what you think of yourself. Outsiders always think they know what you should do or where you should be. The truth is, no one knows you but you.

I just like to write and play. I cannot sing but really like to.
Story behind the song
I remember getting an annoying feeling before I wrote this song. Almost like, one of those people that you just wish would go away but they won't. This song felt the same until I wrote it and was finished. It is amazing what kind of relief you feel after 15 minutes of creativity.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Blank with need,
A man's greed.
Feeling like a child,
All the while.
Verse 2
Taking time inside,
For the truth to hide.
Reach outside your eyes,
To stare at lies!
Chorus
And how does it feel,
When the thief of love steals?
And what do you see,
When you look at me?
Verse 3
This game that we play,
Is my demise.
The words that you say,
Are your disguise.
And you claim to know,
Where I should go.
You claim to see,
Inside of me.
Chorus
Verse 4
I'm coming to terms,
With my heart.
Fighting back tears,
Where did this start?
And how did we get, this way?
Where did we go,
What can I say?
Chorus
