Song number 27

It’s easy to separate yourself from others. It’s easy to think you’re different. When it all comes down to it, we’re all the same stuff. We’re all nuts.

This song is another loud/quiet dynamic sort of song. The heavy parts were beefed up by using one guitar in “Dropped D” tuning, along with playing barre chords on the bass. I like the way this one turned out, but I’ll probably move to a different feel and style by tomorrow. Check it out!

lyrics

I thought I was an actor, always wearing masks
I thought I knew the answers, I never thought to ask, who knew

The chain replays in my head, I missed the first go round
I've been wracking my brain, searching for that sound, I knew

I thought I was the alien, and the rest of you were sane
I can see we're animals, and we're pretty much the same, who knew

As time reveals my ignorance, I'll never find a truth
I've been hurting my own cause, putting forth the proof, I know

I thought I controlled myself, and was always to blame
I'm not at fault for breaking down, inheriting this name

Who knew why I tried, when I was out of time
Who knew I lived trapped in my own mind

I thought I was an actor, always wearing masks
I thought I knew the answers, I never thought to ask, who knew

I thought I was the alien, and the rest of you were sane
I thought I was the alien, but we're all the same
