Arrested Youth - Ryan

Here's a couple true facts I've discovered in life
One, everything we do is highly incentivized
By paternal conditions we could never predict
Yeah, some things could be different, but still it is what it is
And two, everyone is struggling to carry their burden
This I know to be certain don't even question this sermon
Cuz three, insecurity is a common disease
But it keeps us moving forward toward a common decree

What do I have to say that I've avoided 'til today?
What have I buried deep in my conscious?
Forgive me cuz

I've been trying, I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan
I wish I was like him, but it's just not who I am
Who I am, who I am
I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan
I've been trying, I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan

Four, the ego is always the fourth floor with a trap door
So, we can never be that sure
There's five people in my life who seem to get me
But six people that I know still resent me
My older brother Ryan is someone I keep trying to show
That I can be a someone, you know?
And my parents understand that I'm growing as a man
Still I constantly wonder just what they think of who I am

What do I have to say that I've avoided 'til today?
What have I buried deep in my conscious?
Forgive me cuz

I've been trying, I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan
I wish I was like him, but it's just not who I am
Who I am, who I am
I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan
I've been trying, I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan

I've been trying, I'm sorry I'm not like Ryan
I wish I was like him, but it's not who I am
