An introspective alt. rock song.
Alternative Acoustic
Basically I'm a single act operating out of a six cornered room somewhere in NJ.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song because I've always had a certain view of myself as being a *too good to be true* type person and one day just faced myself in the mirror and saw something completely different.
This was about saving myself from the misconstrued perceptions I had allowed myself to fall into.
Lyrics
Thought I needed someone deep inside to sacrifice
For the greater good
The hero in me
Thought I was strong enough
To have a deeper side
The courageous hearted
Jack of all trades
Needed to save the day
Here am I facing the fact
That I'm nowhere near what I
Thought I should be
I needed a figure in the dark to think myself
Somewhere closer to noble
The crash in the darkness,
A modern day Robin Hood
Swift against the dark plans
Of some imaginary foe
Fighting for the weak
Always keeping the upper hand
I can't believe this alter ego in me
I want so desperately to save
Was never meant to be
I feel lost
Who am I really
And why is it that I just can't seem to find
Or save the real me
I let myself creep down inside
To some harebrained
Sketch of a wonder
A miracle inhuman being
Sucked down to the core perfect
I had hidden in my hide
‘Til a mirror
Reflected something else back to me
Humbled now
And I don't quite understand how
I can ever be saved
From this figment taking over
The reality I've never found in me
I feel lost
Who am I really
Who's going to save me from me
Or thoughts of what I will never be
