[Verse 1]

I wake up ready to face a new challenge

Two eggs, a can of V8 to keep balance

Early morning calisthenics just to keep myself right

Can't improve my life without improving my health, right?

Cause I could have been healthy as hell

But couldn't pick myself up the last time that I fell

Into these slumps that I constantly fall in

Feeling like sleeps cousin always be calling

And it's so cliche to hear somebody say that

But that's how I really feel, fuck it I'll take that

So I finish my calisthenics, take a shower and dress

And go to work, but fuck work - now I'm depressed

Because that job never really did pay shit

I hated it but I did what I needed to do and was patient

Ain't it a bitch doing shit that you hate?

Just trying to put some food on your plate, I know you relate

Working at a dead-end job on dead-end nights

Trying to support what you feel's a dead-end life

And when your hands are just about worn down to the bone

It's time to go home, right back to being alone


[Verse 2]

And at home it's no different than work

I deal with emptiness instead of only dealing with jerks

Their lack of friendliness can get to me so bad that it hurts

Well fuck the friendly shit cause that doesn't decide what I'm worth

Cause I'm a human

Being whatever that I believe in

Living how I want to for any number of reasons

But any one of those reasons could be the reason that I am

Quietly unhappy and always being defiant

The state of mind that I am in reflects my environment

To change my environment, shit, I've been trying it

"you're failing." Falling with nobody to catch me

Hoping eventually somebody would help me

Open up to let the outside world in

But no one's showing up, I guess I'm on my own then

So fuck, I deal with it and just get into the zone

And adjust to always being alone


[Verse 3]

Alone in my thoughts, alone in my mind

Alone without friends, alone and I'm fine

But I'm stuck in this repetitive cycle I live in

I do the same things everyday, and that's a given

And that's not really living, it's more just like existing

So I just exist in my meaningless existence

Until I exit I'll fight with persistence

For an existence with some type of fulfillment

Alone or not, this what I know I got

I march to the sound of my own drummers and stop

My art's bound high, showing no signs of a drop

And my heart pounds like I know that I'm all I got

But it's cool, it don't matter 'cause whatever the case

I can overcome any obstacle I face

And I don't need extra complications in place

To get in my way, invading my space

I'll be alone then
