[Hook:] Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall
[Verse 1:] I am no role model, I am not Mr. Perfect Been bitten a couple of times and I did deserve it Everyday livin' and learnin' through these written verses My life is a sacrifice, I wonder is it worth it? People can change, I'm living physical proof I'm not important, or special or different from you To other people, I may seem like a good adviser But to myself I feel like a dirty womanizer I am just a man, I will never be a celebrity That is a mantra I will cling to the death of me Don't wanna feed my kids the very treachery they fed to me Preferably the aim is equality eventually Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man Your brother in humanity is everything that I am
[Hook:] Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall
[Verse 2:] Listen close to the words that were sang in the chorus There's a big difference between fans and supporters Never asked to be scrutinized or consumerized Or treated differently to any other human life Most don't, but some do and it saddens me Force fed celebrity to subdue our humanity See the false image depicted and think it's purity When beneath that image they hold more insecurities Than you do, but sometimes it's hard to tell who's who There's more to life than Twitter followers and YouTube views And if I came across like I was cocky I am sorry You were born original so please don't die a copy Don't relegate me below, or elevate me above to you Needless to say, in either place I'm uncomfortable I treat you as an equal, I'm simply a man Your brother in humanity is everything that I am
[Hook:] Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Everything I am, and everything I want to be I put it in your hands, you could open up to me Oh don't we ever get beyond this wall
