You, you, you, you, you, you, you.
You, you, you, you blow my mind.
You, you, you, you, you, you, you,
You know what it's like to move
Mountains with mind control,
Icebergs with just your frontal lobe,
You know what it's like to do,
You know what it's like to do
Every-thing.

You are the epitome
Of what everyone wants to be,
You never cheat, you never steal,
But you still get the prize, get real,
That's not real life, but for you it is,
You're so perfect you don't know it.

You're not a liar but you play the fool,
You're not a convict but you break the rules,
You're not a martyr but you rouse the crowd,
You're not a rebel but you get so loud!

You're not a deity but they all bow down,
You're not conceited but you're oh so proud,
You're not a leader but they all crowd 'round,
You're not a superstar but they all shout (your name).

You are the epitome
Of what everyone wants to be,
You never cheat, you never steal,
But you still get the prize, get real,
That's not real life, but for you it is,
You're so perfect you don't know it.

You're not the world's most intelligent man,
But you know everything that matters in life,
No you're not the world's most abrasive man,
But people don't argue, you always win,
No you're not known for compulsiveness,
But you always sit wherever you like,
Talk as loud as the mic will allow,
Talk to anybody out in the crowd.

You are the epitome
Of what everyone wants to be,
You never cheat, you never steal,
But you still get the prize, get real,
That's not real life, but for you it is,
You're so perfect you don't know it.

You're not a liar but you play the fool,
You're not a convict but you break the rules,
You're not a martyr but you rouse the crowd,
You're not a rebel but you get so loud!

You're not a purist but no one cries foul,
You're not an angel but no one would doubt
That one day you would sprout wings and fly
So high above everyone they'd cry,
You're the angel in our eyes,
But why oh why do we despise
Everything that you're comprised (of),
We don't want to let you go,
We don't want to let you know...

You are the epitome
Of what everyone wants to be,
You never cheat, you never steal,
But you still get the prize, get real,
That's not real life, but for you it is,
You're so perfect you don't know it.
You'll never know it,
You'll never know it.

(at the end of the recording there's an editing glitch, where I repeat the last three lines and they get louder, it's unintentional, but let me know if you like it or dislike it, because I think it doesn't sound that bad for something I did by accident)

I like the lyrics and I can picture them being really catchy. It's a fun-looking song with meaning. I like the general tune of the song, but give it a faster pace and spice it up with some key changes and build-ups etc. The melody you've come up with seems great for verses, but the theme I'm getting from the lyrics is more upbeat and catchy, so speed up the verses a bit, and come up with a different one for the chorus.

If you ever wana exchange lyrics or just chat about songwritting PM me; I'm pretty chill and love talking about this stuff.
