My Saving Grace

"You know, I've met a lot of people in the short time that I've been alive. And it feels like everybody's worrying about all this insignificant bullshit. Worried about what clothes they wear, what CD they're listenin to, or how much money they have or what car they drive or what neighborhood they live in. But none of that means anything. When it comes down to it, it's all about what you have in your head, and what you have in your heart. Fuck normality. Fuck societal acceptance. Fuck all of that. Because it only means as much as you let it mean. I know I'm not the smartest, I know I'm not the coolest, and I KNOW I'm not the best looking. But it doesn't matter to me. Cause I know that if I'm doin the best I can with what I have, then I'm good. If you do that, then it doesn't matter if your clothes are the freshest or if your wallet is the fattest or if your house is the biggest. People are always gonna have something to say about you, but you can't let that stifle you, because although they may hurt, they're only words. People can call you whatever they want to call you. But as long as you know you're doing your best, you should be fine.

Keep that in mind."

VERSE 1

How much of a path must a man walk down

Before they can call him a man?

Is it years is it distances maybe experiences?

I really don't know but I'll tell you what I can.

I'm still pretty young just barely 19

Yet I've been so many places the things I've seen

Make me feel like a lifetime is longer than it seems

Life is only short if you want it to be

If I died right now, I'd have zero regrets

Because I took what I was given and I tried my best

People forget what's important and it turns into depression

Tailspin towards the ground cause of simple misdirection

Here's a lesson you should learn: no one really knows

What they want from life, whatever path you chose

It was yours to decide so enjoy the ride

And if you mess somethin up, just give it another try

Never let somebody tell you that you were wrong

They only mad cause they still don't really know what's goin on

Just do what you do, fuck being accepted

This is your life to live never let nothing affect it

CHORUS x2

This is my saving grace this is my final word

Though it may seem absurd this is what I've learned

Where do I go from here I don't really know

But I'll never stop moving and that's fasho

I don't have all of the answers I won't pretend

But if you feel the way I feel I would strongly recommend

That you stop worryin about the trivial stuff

Being yourself is more than enough

VERSE 2

Even though I gotta say I've had a real nice life

There's been a lot of times shit just really ain't go right

I was an outcast up until I graduated highschool

I guess I still am but that's totally cool

See I used to let the kids get to me with they words

It really hurt when they would call me a weirdo or nerd

So many nights with a knife to my jugular vein

I really thought that I was going insane but things changed

Took a lot of years now I finally made it

Now I could give a fuck less if I'm greatly hated

I ain't doin anything for anybody but me

This is my life you could suck a dick if you disagree

When I say that what do I mean? Fuck normalcy!

If you like then do it, fuck MTV!

Trynna tell me what I need to do to be cool

I can choose for myself man I ain't no fool

Who are you to be saying that I should change?

So what if I'm strange?

Ain't nobody say you gotta live this way

Just leave it to me and let me be what I can be

It'll be more than you expect and I'll bet you just wait

CHORUS x2

VERSE 3

If God really exists then I wonder if he can hear this

Just one more voice in the cacophonous mist

If I died today would I be missed?

Or just another name added on the obituary list?

Did I die too soon or was it just the right time?

Did I see what I had to or was I blind?

Will I make it into heaven? Or should I even care?

Cause I'm never gonna know unless I end up there

Wherever I may go whatever I may do

Imma make the best of it and continue through

No person on the planet could corrupt my journey

Only death could ever possibly disrupt my learning

There's a whole lot of things that I still don't know

There's only one way to find out, come on, let's go

Fuck waitin for a chance imma make my own

And even though I gotta travel this path alone

Imma never stop walking even though I'm afraid

And I remember every face that I meet on the way

And when I finally die imma say life was great

Cause I lived how I wanted I promise that's all it takes

"This song is dedicated to Spencer Meyer, another life taken too soon."
