Jagged Edge

Oho-oh! I am what I am Oho-oh! I am what I am I’m a jagged edge in a world of smooth A bitter pill that’s hard to soothe I don’t fit the mold, I don’t play the part I’ve got a rusted soul and a heavy heart If you’re looking for easy, better walk away ‘Cause I’m the storm clouds on a summer day. I’ve got scars like canyons and a mind of my own Built my kingdom on a bed of stone. I am what I am, take it or leave it The truth is hard if you don’t believe it Don’t try to bend me, don’t try to shave the thorns I was born in the fire, weathered the storms But if you call me brother, if you’re a friend of mine I’m the lion in the thicket, I’m the end of the line Your rock in the ocean, steady and true I’m a jagged edge—but I’m a wall for you. I don’t sugarcoat and I don’t pretend I’m a broken road around a sudden bend You can try to sand me, try to make me shine But you’ll blunt your tools on this heart of mine I’m a stubborn light that refuses to fade Comfortable in the mess I’ve made. Keep your advice and your master plans I’m a desert wind and shifting sands Love me or hate me, just let me be The only version of myself I can see. I am what I am, take it or leave it The truth is hard if you don’t believe it Don’t try to bend me, don’t try to shave the thorns I was born in the fire, weathered the storms But if you call me brother, if you’re a friend of mine I’m the lion in the thicket, I’m the end of the line Your rock in the ocean, steady and true I’m a jagged edge—but I’m a wall for you. Yeah, I’m a wall for you... Like I said... I am what I am.
