about

Written at the same time as the "All I Can Be" single and recorded shortly after our break up. This is the last finished song in my Primer & Grayscale archive and will be the last Primer & Grayscale song ever released.

lyrics

Both in and out of light
A flicker in the night
I hope he doesn't get the best of me
The arrow on the sign
Over I-65 points home
But not where I'm supposed to be
Nothing's quite the same
Or maybe I'm the one that's changed
I know i shouldn't take it personally
Cuz kids will call you names
But when your family does the same
I don't know what they expect from me

Cuz I did not choose my birth place
I did not choose to be your son
I am the way you raised me
But I'm more than where I'm from

So who are you to say what I can, and what I can't be?
How am I supposed to change?
Who are you to say what I can, and what I can't be?
When I was made to be this way

Foxes dig their dens
And birds learn how to build a nest
But I don't know if there's a place for me
I tried to lay my head to rest
In other people's beds
And I woke unsatisfied with wandering
I want to be okay
In the worst kind of way
With accepting that I don't know where I fit
I'm the stone that's cast away
An immigrant displaced
But dammit I am proud of who I am
