Of tattooed lines

Guns and bullets, blood and guts

Screams and knives, fists and shoves

Steel and Iron, mayhem and riots, I’m

Unbreakable, unbendable, unbeatable,

Nothings ever gonna hold me down

~

I’ve walked for days, seen highs, lived lows

Thought I wasn’t gonna make it, said I’d

Give up, then picked myself up, dusted off my clothes

Stood up, turned around, and said bring it all again, cuz I’m

Grateful for my worst days

-

I’m legendary in my head, philosophies follow me

Around my feet tripping world in search of Zen

I’ve got answers to questions only I’m asking

See me today, see me tomorrow, it’s all the same

The secret of life is finding balance

~

Headlines, news, live tv, the only truth that matters

Is the one I create…not pretend, not fake

Keep the masks in the store, I’m not selling who I am

Just showing my ugly to the world, to see how they deal

Be who you really are

~

When I’m gone, when they remember the dance I made

Will they sing for me, will they shout, pound their fists down

Turn their eyes to heaven and scream at the sky

Or will they shake their heads and

Remember the smiles, the laughs, the small things that made me unique
