Lyrics:
I don't know what it means, but the record shows this is the first thing God ever said to Moses: I am, I am. Well, I'm not trying to say much about the link, but I too like to preach my results with thinking: I am, I am.

And any given night, you may find this on my mind: the skeptic's rock to which I'm binding all I'll ever be, entwined. Well, a noble fight gets thrown around a lot, but it's all I haven't got, and it's all I'm trying to find.

But then coming up short is what it means to be: knock me down cut me up and it means to me I am, I am. Well, I'm not trying to say it's any noble cause to assert existence in a list of flaws, but I am as I am.

And any given day, you know just what I'll be because you know my history--I'd like to think there's more to me. Well, the word "okay" gets thrown around a lot, but it's all I've really got and it's all I'm trying to be.

I'd like to follow modern music but I don't have the dough. I'd like to place some faith in something but there's shit you can't know. I'd like to be a bit more social but I don't want to fake. I'd like to see myself successful but I can't stay awake. I'd get a job and fall in love, except I'm bad on the phone. I'd like to think that I'm above it, but I'm only alone.

Oh my god, holy shit. This is me, this is it.
I am, I am.

And any given time, someone somewhere must give up their defining adjective in favor of the means to live. Well, a clever rhyme gets thrown around a lot, but it's all I've really got, all I've really got to give.

And any given day, you know just what I'll be because you know my history, I'd like to think there's more to me.
I'd like to think there's more, there might be more to me.

Ever After Disaster gave feedback to Ted Kindig for “I am.”:
It's not perfect but it's not horrible- very rough sounding. Very garagey. Wasn't extremely good but it wasn't extremely bad either- somewhere in the middle.

Ted Kindig  Yup, I tend to favor a dirtier sound. Specifics tend to make for more valuable feedback, but I also understand just not feeling something for whatever reason, which can be tricky to articulate. Regardless, thanks for the input!  (Feb 06, 2012, 10:15 EST)

Clarity In Color gave feedback to Ted Kindig for “I am.”:
I'm really digging this.

I love you many words you cram in the verse!

Good lyrics too.

The chorus is catchy.

Organ is never a bad choice :)

I like the dynamics and how it explodes into the last chorus.

Keep it up man!
