All I am is me/ The unaccepted
Verse
I’m outside looking in
A stranger in the crowd
The one they ostracize
The one they talk about.
Honesty is poison.
The truth a bitter pill.
I’m the unaccepted
A magnet for ill will.
Chorus
Never learned the social graces;
Faces to deceive.
Never learned the art of lying
All I am is me.
All I am is me.
Bridge
I paint it as I see it.
The portrait is unkind.
They choose to hate the artist.
They swear I must be blind.
Verse
A mirror’s point of view
The truth they fight to hide
The bad taste in their mouths
That they get when they lie.
I’m the unaccepted
The thing they fear the most.
Their souls a haunted house
And me I am their ghost.
Chorus
Never learned the social graces;
Faces to deceive.
Never learned the art of lying
All I am is me.
All I am is me.
Verse
I’m outside looking in
A stranger in the crowd
The one they ostracize
The one they talk about.
Honesty is poison.
The truth a bitter pill.
I’m the unaccepted
A magnet for ill will.
Chorus
Never learned the social graces;
Faces to deceive.
Never learned the art of lying
All I am is me.
All I am is me.

Hello Carroll, Well written, and good call using "T's" suggestion. I try to imagine what audience might be drawn to this lyric and what mood of music might best fit it? What audience do you want this to appeal to, and what genre do you imagine. Best wishes,

Hey "T", I was just a little curious as to what Carroll wanted. I'm covered up right now, still kicking around another one of Carrolls lyrics and working out some music on a couple of re-writes of mine from years ago. I listened to your sample track, I think your hot onto this one, sounded great. While we're on the subject, have you read Carrolls lyric in the collab forum "Girl With The Bell Bottom Jeans"? I've got a good feeling about that one, I think it is very viable with a little work and the right music. Anyhow, I think you are on the right track with "All I Am Is Me". Good luck and best wishes,

Dang'it man! When are we gonna' team up?!

I'm all for that "T". I just did the music for Carroll on "In Too Deep", I'm trying to pitch it right now with an artist I'm working with in New York. Get with Carroll and see if he will let you listen to it and send you the link, you might be able put the mojo on it, you know my guitar work sucks.

Well... I won't get in the way of any "pitching", but I'm always willing mix things up swap licks! 🙂
