I am not the man you thought I was
I am not the man you thought I was
I am not the man you made of me

I am not the name you gave to me
I am not thee name you gave to me
I am not the name you know me by

I won’t give up; I won’t show my belly to the dogs
That hound me when I’m sleeping, dreaming
Of the things I could have done, I should have said
I would have wanted only, if only, I...

If you lead I will follow you and
If you need I will follow through
I’ll write my name into the sandstone
With a Sharpie marker

If you lead I will follow you and
If you need I will follow through
I’ll write my name into the sandstone
With a Sharpie marker

I don’t know how; I don’t want to remember shadows
Stalking still when I am living, learning better
All my mistakes have brought me here, have taught me
More and got me closer, so close now, I...

If you have the will the way will come
If you know the way, then you will
Sketch the edges of my dreams
And paint them black and blue

If you have the will the way will come
If you know the way, then you will
Sketch the edges of my dreams
And paint them black and blue

I am not the man you thought I was
I am not the man you thought I was
I am not the man you made of me

I could be more
I am not that man
I am not, I am not

Full Title: Prospects (Sniffing Markers)

This was fun. The introduction came to mind and I just kind of went with it. I doubt the pacing makes sense to anyone but me; there are a lot of drawn out wailing notes and specific crescendos that make it demonstrate something resembling flow. Whatever. It's different, at least, and I was looking for different.

Written quite well. The repetition and flow work out well for a song. "I won't show my belly to the dogs" is my favorite line in this one.

I don't believe in love at first sight, I do believe in-fatuation.

Thanks for the fave!
And that's my favourite line, too. Well, that and the Sharpie marker line... but only cause I really like Sharpies.
