All through my life
Longing for a healing light
For someone to confide
For somewhere to reside
It seems those are hard to find
So I drift through the night
Not a kindred soul in sight
I turn to myself for an answer
Perhaps I caused my life's cancer
For now I stay in the shadow
The lonely man's manifesto
Who knows where I might go
I used to just follow the flow
But it led to an ocean of emptiness
So now I fight my way back upstream
Searching for a way out of this tempest
Wishing reality was just a fleeting dream
Wishing this world wasn't obscenely mean
Time to keep moving
I don't want to be seen
