Won't Say I Told You So (Live)

Learn To Love Again

I wanna make you proud, but I can make you proud in way thats not loud
egotistical and feeding the devil,
inside of me, Feed the angels instead, keep me level
I had to silence my demons, still alive but settled
I messed up because I let you muscle me before,
You told me at the end of the tunnel was being poor,
addicted to narcotics and no bridges left to burn,
I listened before but found out, it’s better to learn,
from experience and making mistakes, and getting hurt,
You never been a kid without grazing your elbow in the dirt,
I hated breaking up with my first girl, it broke her soul,
I hated going to work at dawn while damp and cold,
I hated my step dad, I hated my boss,
but hating the things in your life comes at an awful cost,
I started writing my own book by trusting my heart,
the bible didn’t resonate, so I let us part,
God was always inside of me but the script confused me,
the church seemed like more of a club, the culture didn't amuse me,
through positivity I grew like a tree in forest, 
higher than the canopy, and if I’m really honest,
I love my life, I’m a spiritual being, paving my path to my dreams,
I ain’t a part of a part of a scene, lone wolf.
hunting for my Alchemy, be what I set out to be, rich man but currency
is running low, I see the value of money as fun coupons
But fun isn’t the definition of happiness, Neurones 
stimulated by having more than others is toxic,
exponential, invested in greed, but cannot stop it,
So I refuse to live luxuriously,
my time goes into curiosity, exploring my mind,
and keeping it open, my words are a token,
of influence and emotion, pain and pleasure,
the leasure of getting by from passion and devotion,
giving me leeway to live a life away from the mundane,
agree or disagree, my beliefs are all that keep me sane,
I'm chasing music but I say fuck the fame,
Fuck the ego, fuck the game, I'm a human being with a heart and brain.
