Cut me down, all you do is feed the fire.
You can't put out my burning desire.
I'm chasing my dreams. This is all I'll ever know.
Rising up, fighting back against the ones that told me no,
That told me no.

I was destined to become this man
Since the day my life began.
I've fought for everything I've earned,
And I'll keep fighting til I'm buried in the Earth.

Cut Me Down (rough cut)

Rough Cut of Living As An Ocean we recorded in a bedroom

Living As An Ocean (rough cut)

I'm done wasting my life on being sad
Over something that I've never had.
The only sad thing is it took me this long to see
The reason for my pain was me.
I tried pointing the finger, I tried placing the blame
And everything just stayed the same.
But now I'm taking control, I won't let life get me down.
Everything will be better this time around.

There's no excuse for not waking up with a smile on your face
'Cause it's a brand new day.
You have to go through life thinking positively,
Then everything will be that way.

I am the master of my own destiny
And no one matters but me.
I'll rise above the negativity.
We have to choose to be happy.

This is a call to action, 
To make the best of what you've got.
Life is way too short
To waste on being upset.

I am the master of my own destiny
And no one matters but me.
I'll rise above the negativity.
We have to choose to be happy.

Its our choice.
