[Verse 1] 

And I get older, I can’t hold the weight up
I’ve got weak shoulders
I need to buck up and be stoic like Greek soldiers
It seems like I’m always starting over
I guess that’s just the life I’ve chosen
Still opposing forces light up and [bad word] block along their chosen courses
Feeling force and lay blame and take down the torches
I’ve been in bliss little lately
They couldn’t make me settle down
Mister, let me list the ways this is gonna get me off the ground
You can’t climb a mountain and miss out on the vista [bad word]  I’ve been climbing cliffs and poking through the mists
Same sky, different twist, gotta make sure I exist
Pinch myself on the arm just before I slit the wrist
And I did ? a mug full of high caffeination and then fleed the hive
Cause I can’t take this generation gap
Road talkin [bad word] with no tact and act out loud
Instinct says think outside the crowd 
 [bad word]  

Alone, this song’s for those who like to be alone
Sleep alone, leave it alone, in at home just bein’ on your own
Alone, this song’s for those who hate to be alone
Sleep alone, be left alone, too scared to find something to call your own 

[Verse 2] 

Sometimes when I’m alone I feel like I’m really not
In my own hideaway, I feel like I’m being watched
When I’m alone I argue with myself and analyze my life
Just to clean the dust off this shelf
All alone, carryin my disappointments I’ve seemed to carry out
Every mistake that would leave my [bad word] broken-hearted
We’d be ? but I don’t want to be alone no more
Don’t wanna be lonely no more
And I [bad word]  maintain the pain
little wisdom [bad word] when nothing can be changed
Things get done better when I let the way go
Down to sounds of folks screamin “Hey, yo!”
At night, illuminated in shades of day-glo
This kingdom won’t grow unless I say so
It’s a cold cold world and I ain’t even got a coat
But I ain’t scared to share some heat
But I don’t wanna rock the boat 
 [bad word]  

[Verse 3] 

This is my olden me, my code of honour ??
So my prophecy betold upon my soul falls right in front of me
Huntin me down, lookin for the right support
Are they [bad word] for me now? Now?
Why do I feel like everytime I achieve, they shutting me down?
Sometimes I get boxed in the field of life
Whenever I left that door open, that’s when the trouble walked in
And I’m lost somewhere in between the both of this
But I gotta keep on, no matter how hard it gets
Keep on taking steady steps and see ??
Be second guessed every inch of this [bad word] quest
And it ain’t no easy thing to appreciate the joy that music brings
I feel like a vessel the way the angels sing to me
And time’s an enemy, I’m suddenly thinkin about these inanimate objects
And how they’re gonna outlast me and it makes my heart beat heavily
And that’s a journey that I must do on my own
When lights start to fade, I must go all alone 
 [bad word]  

I must admit that I’m puzzled. You hipsters claim to be such relaxed, free spirits. Yet [bad word] for social behaviour are even more set tight and rigid than those in square society. 

Yeah well, Dave. It’s simple, I’ll spell it out for you. You know, a lot of the simple everyday behaviour is illegal so there’s always a lot of heat on the scene. And, you know, you’ve gotta protect yourself. Now if you break [bad word]  you get put down in the street. But you break the [bad word] and they throw you in the slammer, and that’s a big difference. Anyway, there’s only two [bad word]  You protect yourself from the possibility of police intervention, and you protect your state of mind.
