lyrics

Success breeds attention, but I’d
Best be left in the shade
I’ve tested redemption, but prefer
The common waterways

There’s no one telling me that
I’m supposed to grow
There’s no one lurking in the
Bushes near my home

I plot my course and I
Determine where I go
And I travel alone

Everyone is limping, but I
Found a way to cope
You must ignore your drowning if you
Want to grab hold of the rope

I took my feelings and I
Buried them away
I denied myself and
Worked to earn my pay

Caved into pressure and
Became a man that day
And I still feel so alone

Alone
Alone!

I don’t have a list of reasons
For doing what I did
I’ve been this way ever
Since I was a kid

Conquered my ego, but got
Conquered by my id
Oh
Oh
Oh!
