TYPICAL GUY
By Eric James
I never asked you what you thought of me
I never asked you if you agree
Like your body is shifting in its hour glass
Like time has shut down, cutting you in half

And sometimes, in search of something new
I say "God gave this to me, and God gave this to you
But what if I don't believe in your God's form of peace
I think it's more important for us to be free

Cause I am not your TYPICAL GUY
I'd put the world down in an instant
Than to just lie down & die
Cause when all you see is anger
You gotta look behind the eyes

No, this is not the earth I want to live
But this is all I'm offered, this is all I can give
& If you don't like the tone of my story
You can just move on with your war for glory
Cause tonight I live my life true & free
& No army can protect you & no government can stop me

Cause I am not your TYPICAL GUY
I'd lay my life down in an instant
Just to know that you can cry
Cause all we see is anger
You gotta look behind these eyes

Cause there's a thousand shades in every land
There's a different book for every right hand
Why is it so hard for everyone to see
That what is right for you might not be right for me

Cause at the end of time when our worlds collide
I will spring forth from the other side
Knowing I got to look behind the eyes
Behind the eyes
