As I Am Lyrics - Train Of Thought - Dream Theater

Don't tell me what's in 

Tell me how to write 

Don't tell me how to win this fight 

Isn't your life 

It isn't your right 

To take the only thing that's mine 

It's over your head 

Don't try to read between the lines 

Are clearly defined 

Never lose sight of something you believe in

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Takin' in the view from the outside 

Feeling like the underdog 

Watching through the window 

I'm on the outside 

Living like the underdog 

I've been trying 

To justify you 

In the end 

I will just defy you 

To those who understand 

I extend my hand 

To the doubtful I demand 

Take me as I am 

Not under your command 

I know where I stand 

I won't change to fit your plan 

Take me as I am 

Photos 

Still running up hill 

Swimming against the current 

I wish I weren't so fucked 

Feels like I'm stuck 

Lost in a sea of mediocrity 

"Slow down, you're thinking too much 

Where is your soul?" 

You can not touch the way I play 

Or tell me what to say 

You're in the way 

Of all that I believe in 

Takin' in the view from the outside 

Feeling like the underdog 

Watching through the window 

I'm on the outside 

Living like the underdog 

I've been wasting my breath on you 

Open minds will descend upon you 

To those who understand 

I extend my hand 

To the doubtful I demand 

Take me as I am 

Not under your command 

I know where I stand 

I won't change to fit your plan 

Take me as I am 

To those who understand 

I extend my hand 

To the doubtful I demand 

Take me as I am 

Not under your command 

I know where I stand 

I won't change to fit your plan 

Take me as I am
