lirik lagu jellyfish brigade - the character is me

i remember sitting on the roof top
theorizing til my head was sore
climbing over fallen tree limbs checking
what the mississippi swept ash-r-
a young whippersnapper on a street
corner hollering we gotta end the war
now i be, this character is me
a bit of all of the things i’ve been before

skinned knee shorty with a coffee can
hunting slimy creatures in the mud and the dirt
for what it’s worth i let ‘em go at the request of ma dukes
almost caught a snake once, last second i got spooked
slithering, shaky, i stay fidgetin
use to pier jump into polluted lake michigan
now, i’m hanging off a bridge 40 feet higher
above a the murky water, sh-t i thought i’d be wiser, nah
tiddlywinks and newspaper tug boats
at 27 i be singing all my love notes
i’ve been afraid of rejection since back in the day
prolly why i didn’t ask her to stay
i quit smoking and then, i started smoking again
i gotta find a different way to learn to cope with the bends
extend a hand to foe, b-mping folk tunes and wu tang
lost my hops but still got a nasty hoop game

a minimalist preaching to you that less is more
a screen porch dweller soaking up the thunderstorms
a romantic with bleeding heart ripped and torn
a late nighter feeling hungover every morn
a deity, and a downer and a friend of yours
now i be, the character is me

i think that i’ve learned the simplest things last
every situation ain’t a riddle or ink splat
as a teacher i can spot the sh-ttiest mishaps
and know just what to say to make a miserable kid laugh
a warrior. a worrier. performing like a
mourning bird chirping to the chords of a wurlitzer
shifting from power to paranoia like greek gods
waxing on the dreams caught and glory that we’ve lost
but i’ve yet to live my better years
i still need to see the stars from the southern hemisphere
author stories and compile a thick book
spend the summer dawns pulling trout off a fish hook
look, i get caught up in comparisons
have accomplishment amnesia and forget bout where i’ve been
but the triumphs, melancholy and barriers i’ve breached
form a fine collage and that character is me

i am just a drop of rain
falling to the quiet stream
the growing rivulet that’ll
wash it all away, wash it all away

i am just a grain of sand
seated by the ocean blue
on the golden beach that
sprawls across the way, sprawls across the way

i am just a single brick
in a wall that towers high
the edifice that you can
see from far away, see far away

i am just a lonely star
burning in a crowded sky
on the night that stunned the world
all across the way, all across the way
