I wrote this song at 17 yrs old, at a time when I was searching for who I wanted to be - while trying to seperate myself from who I thought the world was expecting me to be. And I found the only way to do that was to look away from the outside appearance of things, and to simply look within myself.

Here's "Only One Way"

Am I searching for something I'll regret having persued?
Another morning, another warning, another side of me to prove,
another part of me to lose.

Wanting what can never be posessed
is a lie to which I can confess.
To own is to loan an illusion for a time.

They say there's only one way.
I say there's only one way to be me.
The way is to say that I will be who I am.
Don't say there's only one way.
Don't say that, don't say that, don't say that . . .

Searching for nothing is how it feels indeed.
But I'm searching for one thing: that is to be freed.

They say there's only one way.
I say there's only one way to be free.
The way is to say that I will never fail.

And although there is sun in my life,
there's a chill that runs down my spine,
I just wanted just one thing:
to know if I am mine.

They say there's only one way.
I say there's only one way to be free.
The way is to say that I will do what I can
to claim myself and never move from where I stand.
Never let them lable me and be who I am . . .
