I am who I am
Having secretly decided who I want to be
I act like a different man
Than what I naturally would be
The poorest of the gang
Always acting like the richest
The purest of the souls
Always acting like the dirtiest
I dreamed of living in the city
Felt too big for the countryside
But I found that I felt too small in the city
So I looked at things from a different side

You see, it's easy to blend in
When everything around you is made of steel
But how can you know what I mean
When you don't ask me how I feel
My mind gets lost in the commotion
I stand still and everyone's in motion
The thoughts in my mind are always racing
So I've got no time to cry
But sometimes when I'm stargazing
I do wish there were no metallic birds in the sky
