Dream Theater As I Am Lyrics

Don’t
Tell me what’s in
Tell me how to write
Don’t tell me how to win this
Fight.
Isn’t your life
It isn’t your right
To take the only thing that’s
mine

Proven over time
It´s over your head.
Don’t try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined,
“Never lose sight of
Something you believe in”

Taking in the view from the outside,
Feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window
I’m on the outside
Living like the underdog.

I’ve been trying to justify you
In the end I will just defy you.

To those who understand
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am.
Not under your command
I know where I stand.
I won’t change to fit your plan
Take me as I am.

As I am

Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren’t so
f___ed.
Feels like I’m stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity.

Slow down
You’re thinking too much
Where is your soul?
You cannot touch
The way I
Play
Or tell me what to say
You’re in the way
Of all that I believe in.

Taking in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window
I’m on the outside
Living like the underdog.

I’ve been wasting
my breath on you.
Open minds will descend
upon you.

To those who understand
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand,
take me as I am.
Not under your command
I know where I stand.
I won’t change to fit your plan
take me as I am.

[Solo]

To those who understand
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am.
Not under your command
I know where I stand.
I won’t change to fit your plan
take me as I am.

As I am
Yeah
As I am
