เนื้อเพลง As I Am Dream Theater
Don't tell me what's in Tell me how to write Don't tell me how to win
This fight isn't your life It isn't your right to take The only thing that's mine
Proven over time It's over your head Don't try to read between
The lines are clearly defined Never lose sight of Something you believe in
* Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window, I'm on the outside Living like the underdog
I've been trying to justify you
In the end I will just defy you
** To those who understand I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am Not under your command I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan Take me as I am As I am
Still running up hill Swimming against the current I wish I weren't so fucked
Feels like I'm stuck Lost in a sea of mediocrity Slow down, you're thinking too much
Where is your soul? You cannot touch the way I play Or tell me what to say
You're in the way Of all that I believe in
