All I'll Ever Be
33 years ago Ryan was born
Oldest of 3 little boys playing on the street
He got plenty of love
He had plenty to eat
But this boy wanted more than his little eyes could see
They gave him glasses
Made him sit a little farther away from the tv
But they couldn't keep him from his dreams
He had an appetite that couldn't be satisfied
He had a habit of making too many sacrifices
You should do this
You should do that
All these suggestions
And I never asked for them
Yeah, it's not too hard to see
What they've done to me, yeah yeah
What they say to me
Is all I'll ever be, yeah yeah
It's not too hard to see
What they've done to me, yeah yeah
If I let them be
The voice controlling me, yeah yeah
July of 2019, Artie was born
A broken elbow woke a dream from being forever scorned
He still had plenty of love
And he was dishing it out
But it left him without something to really care about
They said just focus on your job and don't you worry about the rest
But his mind was only thinking about the things he had missed
He had a curiosity that was chasing the what-ifs
He had a habit of being afraid of taking any risks
They say
You should do this
You should do that
All these suggestions
And I never asked for them
Yeah, it's not too hard to see
What they've done to me, yeah yeah
What they say to me
Is all I'll ever be, yeah yeah
It's not too hard to see
What they've done to me, yeah yeah
If I let them be
The voice controlling me, yeah yeah
You should do this
