The day breaks
I awake to the sound of the passing traffic
Memories come, of mistakes
So I lay myself back down
What's the point of trying
When you can't live with yourself?
I've had my share my dying
But I'm still serving time
What has this life got me into?
I was supposed to come out just fine
I guess at the end of my success
Someone's got to draw the line
And I will never be the same
I am sure
Sometimes I feel like a beast
Just following my instinct
It brings me peace when I think
That I don't have to change
The past has shown that I am
Much better off alone
And here I am:
An independent rogue
Society is not my friend anymore
I chose this life when I left the war
Now my stream of conscious shows
That life's not turning out the way I wanted
