On My Own

Once upon a time

I thought i wouldn't see tomorrow

Fist clenched, eyes wide open

Waiting for someone to follow

Alcohol and sedatives just kept it all at bay

No sex or drugs or rock and roll

Could make the living hell that seemed unchangeable

Just go away

No, it's here to stay

I didn't find a god

I'll leave that for the weak of mind

I didn't find twelve steps

I'd rather leave that all behind

I watched as calmly as I could

As my life seemed to fall apart

Then I sat and thanked myself

For my own sick and damaged heart

I learned it's time to start looking at reality

And what I'll always be

And especially all those things that i don't wanna see

Looking at reality

Hate and love and rage and pain

And I do not feel ashamed

And i will go ahead and face the truth

The reality

I need to free myself from self-preservation

I will be right here

I must believe that I won't ever betray myself

I'll be right here

Now I can see everything is interconnected

And I will stay, I will stay here with you

Science and dreams, mind and body

The power of love and the power of soul

Yes, I will stay here with you
