Lee Rice - Being Me - First Take

Written in the north of Norway, July 2016.

Being Me

I am alone
An alien on a planet that I used to call home
Now everywhere I go
You penetrate my soul
I used to half
What's it like to be whole?

I am unknown
With nightmares that I shake while I roam
There's a voice from the crowd
Danger signs
You're not allowed

Bridge 1
Now I feel like I can't breathe
Without being judged
Should I have gave you my heart?
Would it help to be loved?

I am unsure
Should I close these windows?
And lock every door
If only I could sleep
To shake away today
There must be one person
Who will feel the same way?

Bridge 1
I feel like I can't breathe
Without being judged
Should I have gave you my heart?
Would it help to be loved

Chorus
And all of these days
Turn and fold with the sea
There's a cross that I bare
It's called being me

And all of these days
Turn and fold with the sea
There's a cross that I bare
It's called being me

I am obscure
8 million miles
And still there's no cure
Tomorrow's my chance
To learn the rules of this game
There must be one person
Who will see this the same?

Now I feel like I can't breathe
Without being judged
Should I have gave you my heart?
Would it help to be loved?

And all of these days
Turn and fold with the sea
There's a cross that they bare
It's called being me

I am alone
An alien on a planet that I used to call home
Now everywhere I go
You penetrate my soul
I used to half
What's it like to be whole?

Now I feel like I can't breathe
Without being judged
Should I have gave you my heart?
Would it help to be loved?

Now all of these days
Turn and fold with the sea
There's a cross that I bare
It's called being me
