Like No Other

In the darkest of days
You lie inside the IRIS
Not knowing where to turn
But deep down
That spark within your heart still ignites
Just let it burn
I know you may feel out of place
And out of order
And deep within the determination
May grow shorter
But we all believe in you
You’re stronger than you know
Just know we’re here by your side
You’re not alone
You are a person, this is your life
You have a canvas staring you in the eyes
Paint the pictures that you see inside
Fight your demise
(And don’t throw it all away)
The negatives show that they’re out of order
But you’re not, you can climb out of the gutter
You can rise above and never fall under
Because I know you’re like no other
You may say the crowd is small
Smaller than it looks to be
But that crowd is by your side
Many times you’ve slayed the belly of the beast
Conquered your monster and saved the kingdom
Because you knew what was right
They may ask for the same art
And they don’t know what you’re truly made of
So, give them the finger and tell them
All of that shit your above
With determination you can break free of this cage
And remind those who bring negativity
To stand back and bring it somewhere else
While you stand with your creativity
You are a person, this is your life
You have a canvas staring you in the eyes
Paint the pictures that you see inside
Fight your demise
(And don’t throw it all away)
The negatives show that they’re out of order
But you’re not, you can climb out of the gutter
You can rise above and never fall under
Because I know you’re like no other
Don’t throw away all the hard work and memories
Think about all the happiness you’ve spread
With humor and melodies
Hold onto what you believe in
Don’t let them chain down your heart
Don’t let them tear you apart
At one point we’re all diamonds in the rough
But through our mistakes, trials, and errors
We’re polished and tough
So I know that goes to you my friend
We are the Diamond Armada
And we shine 'till the end
You are a person, this is your life
You have a canvas staring you in the eyes
Paint the pictures that you see inside
Fight your demise
(And don’t throw it all away)
The negatives show that they’re out of order
But you’re not, you can climb out of the gutter
You can rise above and never fall under
Because I know you’re like no other
The negatives are just a distraction in your journey
Don’t fester on them when the road to a brighter future
Is just up ahead
The artist’s heart is pure as the artist is more important than what the artist
makes
Deep down, your heart can overcome negativity and you can continue to thrive in
your creativity
And we’re here to cheer you on in this ongoing adventure
Stay determined my friend, and press start to begin
