I Am The One

"**I Am The One**" is a song written by Ryan See​wald for his friend, Epox or Epoxy. It was created sometime around 2011. It was later included in the album *Dreams Come True*. The song itself was never made public but it is occasionally played in the background in some of Static-P's streams.

## Background

In 2011, Ryan met a group of people on an anime streaming site. Altogether, they were a group of five including Ryan himself. They called themselves The Yellow Scarves. Among them is a someone by the name of Epox. He was interested in becoming a DJ and he really liked trance and EDM (electronic dance music).

Knowing this, Ryan decided to create a song for him to remix and play around with while also practicing his skill with the genre and trying to "make [his] best song" yet. Epox always appreciated songs with a good message, so Ryan created a song which was titled "I Am the One". The song was created specifically for Epox.

Later on, Ryan included the song in the album *Dreams Come True* as the background song for the ninth track titled as "It's the Journey". The album was released in 2014.

It is also among the many songs played during the Steaming streams.

## Lyrics

[Instrumentals]

Ah, na na now, da da da dum, dada da da dum

Dada dum, ah um um now, dada dum da now

Haha!

Welcome to heaven.

Let's go!

Hahahaha! Yow!

Dada da dum, dada da dum dum, dada da dum

Dada da dum, dada da dum dum, dada da dum

I can't believe that on this earth I see

there's so many people, so many dreams to dream.

Yet you all stand alone thinking nobody gets you.

But I say you, my friend, have it all even though we fall.

When times are tough, you've gotta give it your all.

And wherever you go, you bring Heaven with you.

Because I wanna live like it was meant to be,

like it was inside my dreams.

Dancin' in the sunlight with my arms out 'bout to break flight.

And I'll be the one to change this agony into my ecstasy.

Standin', brightly smilin' through the darkness.

Keep on shinin' now.

I am the one that makes my mind,

and I am the one who I design.

So you can't break me down

in despite of my emotions.

I'll be the one to stand the fight,

and I'll be the one to find the light that's

inside each step I fail to make.

And dance for life's sake! Ha!

[Instrumental break]

[Rap]

Hahahaha!

Time (time), time again,

I've been down before.

But it's in my head.

Never found a reason to believe in my own treason.

But I've been there: broke and torn.

And I think that things will go quite differently

now that I'm not just too sick of me

from tearin' at my own soul.

'Cause see, I've got the power, got the urge,

and I'll fight my way to change this earth.

Never gonna fall ill to the broken words of broken worlds.

Attitude is my perception,

not some kind of infection.

You can blame it on the world.

But me: My own boss!

[Instrumental break]

I am the one that makes my mind,

and I am the one who I design.

So you can't break me down

in despite of my emotions.

I'll be the one to stand the fight,

and I'll be the one to find the light that's

inside each step I fail to make.

And dance for life's sake! Ha!

Dada da dum, dada da dum dum, dada da dum

Dada da dum, dada da dum dum, dada da dum

Dada da dum dum, dada da dum
