Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
On the wall hang many paintings all alike
I step up and hang one from no mold
[Verse 1]
People are cast from the same mold
Skin and voice all measured to fit
I press my fingerprint onto the page of life
Not matching anyone, not even one line
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't copy others' sorrow
Nor borrow a smile to make myself alike
[Chorus]
No copy just the first me
No duplicate, only the first original
No copy just the first me
I'm the real deal, no one can recast
[Verse 2]
They ask why I follow no template
I smile and say cause I'm no print
My life's painting is hand-drawn, not machine
So even if messy, it's one of a kind
[Chorus]
No copy just the first me
No duplicate, only the first original
No copy just the first me
I'm the real deal, no one can recast
[Bridge]
Some buy sameness at a high price
I keep my difference and spend nothing
Being original is sometimes lonelier
[Chorus]
No copy just the first me
No duplicate, only the first original
No copy just the first me
I'm the real deal, no one can recast
[Outro]
The painting hangs among the look-alikes
My clumsiness suddenly becomes its own accent
[Fade Out]
[End]
