Myth to Live By (feat. William A. Williams & Kirsten Delohr Helland)

You've been told all your life
you don't look like a hero.
You believed it and now
you're an absolute zero.

You make music alone
'cause you don't feel pretty.
And you're doing too little
in too big a city.

You've been waiting for years
for your world to start moving.
You've been waiting for years
but your life's not improving.

And I'm not trying to deal you
empathy or pity.
I'm just doing too little
in too big a city.

I've resigned to living a life
without glory.
I've resigned to living life
thats not my story.
I've been waiting for change
to drop out of the sky.
I've been squeezing the meaning
out of one simple word: Try.

And I'm making a list
of the things that I'm proud of.
And I'm making a list
of the people that I love.
And I'm setting my limits
impossibly high.
'Cause my life is gonna be
a myth to live by.

You think that I need you
more than you need me.
Well there's no way that
I'm gonna give up so easy.
'Cause I've waited too long
for my life future to slip by
and my life is gonna be
a myth to live by.
