ever wonder if your like the only one on this earth that has a certain feeling and everyone else is like the opposite? Like your just not exactly playing with a full deck or a few fries short of a happy meal... That is a question that goes through my head very often. I can't get a grasp on everyone else's veiws on things like "this is what you should do", "This is the way things are suppose to be", "This is what has to be", and other rules society seems to think we are all govern by. I have stood up against the grain so many times and said "That just ain't natural..." it became one of my greatest driving forces as a musician. It always seems someone has to press thier beliefs on you and no matter what you think... you happen to be off base. Worst of all you can't justify yourself by saying well alot of others feel the same way. I have to admit I have some pretty wyld thoughts or maybe they are normal. Maybe we are all screwed in the head just none of us are willing to admit it. *shrug* Anyhow here is a song that sort of reaches out and explains that thought in a poetic way...

A HEARTBEAT OFF FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD 


I woke up this morning from a dream
Somehow it wanted me to come up and scream
Then I look in the mirror and found myself
How can I live how do I become someone else
Everyone here says I am just lost in my world
But I haven't said anything and not a word
Yea I really don't give a damn how could I
But inside it really makes me want to cry
Half step here and cautious one there
Says that I only want to be fair

(cc1)
That's how it is
That's how its gonna be
A heart beat off from the rest of the world
In a world that says you just can't be neutral
A heart beat off from the rest of the world
In a world that says you just can't be neutral

I don't want responsibility but I want to be stable in my head
And some jerk says only way is to be dead
No I don't want anyone's problems in my home
But I don't really like to stay out on my own
So as I stand up here I only have one last stand
And that's to ask does anyone out there understand
Am I really just way off or do I really hit that mark
Do I make sense from the beginning and from the start
I just really want to say what I mean and that's the trick
But I really don't want to know what I really meant

(repeat cc1)

Then I look out to all of you with questions in your head
Do I view the world a little off or you really felt what's said
Do you want a place where nobody really never minds you
Or the opposite extreme and you always wish like I do
That world had a switch to turn off the noise let us be alone
Just hang everything up on the wall like you do your phone
Don't have to be what everyone else wants you to be
And who's idea was it for ideals that's suppose to be me
Yea I don't get it how you can judge my instinct without
And say that you know me and know what its all about

(repeat cc1)
