Hi I'm , A.K.A. . You can listen to a mix of songs listed under both bands by I've been playing guitar and writing songs for a few years now. I don't have a band yet, and most of the songs I've written I've recorded solo with one of my acoustic guitars. As far as effects, I mostly use just a little compression and noise reduction...so these recordings sound pretty much as it would if I were playing live in the room with you.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
not even superman can be the man that I am  
you try to run my life, seems you don't understand
Not even Superman can be the man that I am  
but you trying to save me, how can I make you understand
you see I know I'm not perfect, but I've got to be the man I am 

Hard as I try things rarely work out how I plan
Seems I'm a winner I'm a losser, what the fuck I'm just a man 
(Brother can't you see)
Even Black and white are just shades of grey
are you gonna win the fight gonna save the day
see there has gotta be a loser if you want to be the winer
I say we all would be in trouble if it weren't for the siners

not even superman can be the man that I am  
you try to run my life, seems you don't understand
Not even Superman can be the man that I am  
but you trying to save me, how can I make you understand
you see I know I'm not perfect, but I've got to be the man I am 

I'm not rich, I'm not some muscle man
I can't do everything, but I do the things I can
(even when I can't save the day)
When things seem most impossible I chase after a dream
while I sell my soul an hour at a time for the things I need
I don't know if I'm origional and I don't clainm to be wise
I just hope that I can live until the day that I die
 
not even superman can be the man that I am  
you try to run my life, seems you don't understand
Not even Superman can be the man that I am  
but you trying to save me, how can I make you understand
you see I know I'm not perfect, but I've got to be the man I am 

maybe I can't fly and I don't have some secret sight
but I work hard everyday and I know what's wrong and right
(I just want to live free)
there's no easy answer, you can't just do what you're told
when those you trust betray beliefs that you so dearly hold
and I get so frustrated, a man a thousand miles away
Try's to tell me what to do like I'm a fuckin slave
(it's time to stand up and say)

not even superman can be the man that I am  
you try to run my life, seems you don't understand
Not even Superman can be the man that I am  
but you trying to save me, how can I make you understand
you see I know I'm not perfect, but I've got to be the man I am
