If I Succeed

(album: Monster Philosophy - 2008)

I wear this ugly crown
A cape of fear and dread
And when I stop and look around
I see people turn their heads
Am I the one who gives am I the one who takes
My senses are complete
I'm walking down a lonesome road
As though I'm meant to lead

If I succeed
I'll be the one exception
If I succeed
I'll shine in all directions
Yeah, I'll be Gods own
Little drumroll
I can do this as I please
If I succeed it seems to me
That we should tell it to people like me

You never turn your back on me
Like I'm a stranger you can trust
Until the pieces fall in place
You always want me to go first...

You see the whole world is, a snapping animal
Won't see it's teeth a 2nd time
I always want to wait
I always want to turn around
