[musical introduction]

[verse]

Sometimes I am a shadow 
Casting images upon a wall 
Having no effect on life 
A curiosity to all

Sometimes I am a rock 
Moved by others pain 
at times like this I wonder at the thought That I am insane

Sometimes I am an animal 
Drifting along at whim 
Doing things without a thought 
Of love of life or limb

at times you think you know me

at times you know you don’t

just remember I am all me

even when I won’t

the manic phases

[pre-chorus]

my life has been an adventure
survived by intellect
My drive has kept me going
when I felt bereft

There is nothing like the doubters
to pull you down again
as you pick yourself up
and dust your butt off to try again

[epic guitar solo]

[chorus]
Nothing goes right the first time
or its rare in my experience
but if you keep trying you can conquer all
being down is a delirium

That private pain is your prison
you can walk free from with your own key
just seek help from the outside
to unlock your own inner being

[verse]
I started out a shadow
Casting images upon a wall
Having no effect on life
A curiosity to all

I started out 
a rock!
Moved by others pain
At times like this I wondered at the thought That I was insane

Sometimes I was an animal
 Drifting along at whim
 Doing things without a thought Of love of life or limb

At times you think you know me!
 At times you know you don’t
 Just remember I am all me
 Even when I won’t

The manic phases

shadow

rock

animal

a curiosity to all

do you see me now
