The Rebel's Eye

You appeared to me On an autumn day Just as I was shedding all evidence of a past life You appeared to be  The warmth so needed heading my way I was so sure I caught the good life  In a bottle  I placed my last words Tossed it out to sea Need help from the current  A cry for my last demands Fall on deaf ears The ears of a man You try to change my shape Cookie cutter I'll spend my last breath restisting I'm a runner Intrepid plans fall into my hands As I let go of yours to scout new lands I may be a sad but I'm not small Only way I stand is proud and tall I won't let you make me small  Ive made my mark you'll never forget  My face plastered on the walls Of your heart Go ahead try and make it small I have dreams of white fences  Blue skies filled with our laughter  A place to rest my head, ring out my heart and dump the contents of the mind on the floor I thought I saw you somewhere in that painting   but that was nothing more than pretens...
