THE OTHER ME
EIGHT YEARS AGO I DISMISSED THE OTHER ME
THE GUY WITH THE BLUSTER, SWAGGER AND BOOM
I SAW MYSELF AS OTHERS SAW ME
AS THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM
BUT I CALLED HIM BACK OFTEN TO COVER MY ASS
WHEN I WAS FRIGHTENED OF THE SITUATION AT HAND
A COUPLE OF DRINKS WOULD CALL HIM UP FAST
HE WOULD THREATEN A PUNCH TO LAND
HE WOULD BE FIGHTING LIFES ' TRUTHS DELIVERED
WEARING A DISHONEST MASK
I WAS NEVER READY TO ACCEPT THE EMPTY QUIVER
AND HONEST ARROWS SHOT INTO MY ASS
SOME FOUGHT A DIRTY WHEN HE WAS THERE
AND I CAN HARDLY BLAME THEM, FOR SURE
THEY WOULD PROVOKE, CAJOLE, AND SHED TEARS
BRUTAL HONESTY WAS THE ONLY CURE
I'D LIKE TO SAY HE WAS GONE FOR GOOD
HE'S REALLY NOT A GOOD FRIEND
A TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS VASTLY CRUDE
WHEN THERE IS A GARDEN I MUST TEND
