i speak - jack dawkins lyrics

i speak lyrics
speak from my nasal passage
bad habit can’t quit it like an addict
high pitched, weak, it’s unintimidating
all of my words seem to sound self*denigrating

predisposed for pain, not pleasure
taught that suffering’s the source of each man’s measure
but suffering from no purpose that’s misery’s recipe
seek a better way, one that sets you free

i don’t follow directions, i’m tapping into truth
talking all of these lessons, i give ‘em to the youth
i can prove it, no kid should ever feel excluded
can’t eliminate the hate, but bеt i can dilute it

so here’s to thе misfits and left*handers
who reject the path and all of its standards
we’re not here to play a role in your crucible
that which makes us different also makes us beautiful

i should’ve put a hook in
that’s how you’re supposed to write songs, right? you gotta hook ‘em!
but if i break the rules what’s the consequence?
what would happen if i start deploying common sense?

i guess i’ll have to take a little more ownership
choose to lose a few friends, embark on a solo trip
i’d get accused of arrogance maybe showmanship
but i’m just doing me and that feels so legit
is a life without freedom really even living?
i know a gift with no love is not a form of giving
so if i believe that making music is my purpose
then there’s no time for fear, need to find some extra courage

and i’ll nourish every soul that ever felt neglected
go viral but skip that inhumane infection
watching while the whole world is changing
if you and i are different then our conversations more engaging

you and i can share perspective and then we start reframing
the ways in which we see the world and where the other’s aiming
and blessed with more knowledge, more compassion
we might make a better world, imagine if that happened

and we could be on stage, everybody’s clapping
just being us, no accents or acting
we’ll rise above all the static and the noise
and see what it feels like to really use our voice

for now, that’s the dream i’m holding onto
i know you’re scared but i see that you are strong, too

thank you for your patience. this is running long
oh sh*t, looks like i might run out of song…
