I've been caught in this damn identity soup
When you meet me, you'll ask me what do you do
If I say my passion, you'll think I'm a bum
If I say my day job, you'll think I've gone numb
If I've got nothing going on
Am I no one at all?
I think my touch is too light, my efforts too cute
Traded in my gun for a knife, and the fight is with nukes
Some live life like they're always at war
I take breaks from the blood and the gore
With books and cat-naps in the late afternoon
I'm still on the ground floor
The rainy city has sun beams that chop like an axe
I need a blistering storm cloud to clean up my act
Stops the noses from bleeding
Raindrops happily screaming
Just relax
Soon as I finish this verse, I'll call you I swear
I will make my decision, I'll aim best I dare
Definitions are shadows and blurs
They just make outlines of love and of work
Help I'm trapped in a job questionnaire
But I know what I am
The rainy city has sun beams that chop like an axe
I need a blistering storm cloud to clean up my act
Stops the noses from bleeding
Raindrops happily screaming
Just relax
