Me Against Myself - Kamaiyah

All I want All I need Always lies just out of reach I've been coming up empty (I realize) Run as fast as I can run Pushed as hard as anyone Still, There's nothing for me (Oh) (And I want) I've tried as hard as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am running a race Against myself Against myself, Yeah (I realize) Burning out, Strung along Now my sorrow is my song My whole world is half-hearted (I realize) For my pain, I have none After all is said and done Now I'm back where I started (Oh) (And I want) I've gone as far as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am running a race Against myself Against myself, Yeah Whooooaaaa Ooooooooooooh (And I want) I've tried as hard as I can (And I need) I've taken all I can stand (And I fall) But I am losing the race Against myself Against myself, Yeah Against myself

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision It could be me up there in stage lights It could be me on the TV in you living room It could be me jet setting with my band all across the world Appearing live in concert one night only, tickets sold out Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision There I am giving candid disclosure to press in interview There I go on my way through the crowd up to the podium On behalf of our fans we'd like to accept this award Smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision All of our lives in waiting All of our lives traded for their roses and applause All of our lives dedicated to shoving it right back in their fucking face Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision I said you've got to make a serious decision Stop! Take some time to think

They're advertising on the TV Become a soldier It's still high school politics, you know Nothing's changed, jocks and assholes still don't know shit about aesthetic I think I smell a rat We sold our revenge, now we're working for them Where's the divide? You know Justin, well Justin's dead And Yahoo won't let his family have access to his e-mail account The news reporter said, I feel so bad for you, it's so awkward There's really nothing I can say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays From network and its affiliates So where's the divide? Where's the divide?

If I could have chosen where God would hide his heaven I'd wish for it to be in the salt and swell of the ocean Carried by the currents to all continents' shores Reaching into depths where the sun's light has never shone Mixed with algae and coral, breathed in by sharks and dolphins Sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists Working its way up through inlets, lakes, and rivers Swamps and estuaries, down through limestone into the aquifer Purified by the county, pumped through pipes and out faucets Filled into a glass to meet the thirst of our children And if I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman My mother once told me she would have named me Laura I'd grow up to be strong and beautiful like her One day I'd find an honest man to make my husband We would have two children, build our home on the Gulf of Mexico Our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together The sun would kiss our skin as we played in the sand and water And we would know we loved each other without having to say it At night we would sleep with the windows of our house left open Letting the cool ocean air soothe the sunburned shoulders of our children There is an ocean in my soul Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean in my soul Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean (there is an ocean) In my soul (in my soul) Where the waters do not curve There is an ocean (there is an ocean) In my soul (in my soul) Where the waters do not curve
