©2013 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP


Don't think you know how it is
I can't even show it to you
I tried to tell you but you couldn't hear
a bunch of times already
but I couldn't get near
There's always good reasons
for what we can't see
I can't just turn over all my authority

I won't bow down to you
I don't want you to bow down to me
I'm going after something else
that only comes from knowing
that comes from myself
I'm not always right
but have to be free
to grant myself at least a little bit
of my authority

How do we listen?
Where do we look?
All my life I've been missing
the sense
that I had what it took

Give me some room to say
I got to find my way
I can't be like everyone else
I only trust in knowing I feel in myself
Even when it seems crazy
sometimes its right to me
I got to claim back some of my own
authority
authority

Born, in Ohio in the 20th Century. Live in Massachusetts in the 21st. I am a myth made of charged points of energy mostly in empty space, but I do love to write, sing, and record songs.
