This is my entry for the iTalent Contest Round 2, in the Auditory Arts (singing/rapping) category. I will also be posting an entry in the Visual Arts category.
This is a remix, featuring brand new lead guitars and several additional synth layers :)
Check out this super cool, creatively organized contest, hosted by : https://busy.org/@ivan.atman/italent-contest-or-round-2-or-auditions-until-23-rd-of-march-or-all-talents-accepted
TOO HARD FOR THE HIPPIES
I'm too hard for the hippies and too soft for the punks
I'm too Jesus for the secular world and too Judas for the monks
I'm too drunk for the police and too sober for the drunks
Guess I get whatever's left
I'm too square for the rejects and too lazy for the geeks
I'm too jealous of the cool kids at school and too freaked out by the freaks
How do you find when you don't know what you seek?
Guess you get whatever's left
Dressed to rebel in these thrift store clothes
Trying to stay warm in a world gone cold
With little bits of everybody else
To remind us of ourselves
I'm not myself
I'm a poser and a fake
It can't be helped
In a broken world
We learn how to break
And this is how you break
Bravery enough to write you words I never send
Just strength enough to break before I bend
If I'm too girl to be your lover and too boy to be your friend
Guess I get whatever's left
All dressed for Heaven in these dime store wings
'Cause the fantasy dulls the sting
With little bits of anybody else
To remind us of ourselves
I'm not myself
I'm a poser and a fake
It can't be helped
In a broken world
We learn how to break
And this is how you break
So dressed like nothing in these birthday suits
From the flowers to the roots
You pretend to be yourself
And I'll pretend I'm someone else
I'm not myself
I'm a poser and a fake
It can't be helped
In a broken world
We learn how to break
And this is how you break
