I am not alone,
though, seldom do I speak.
All implicit ties
must be auctioned off in sleep.
I could never follow, baby;
I could never lead.
If that's good enough for you,
well, that's good enough for me.
I could never stay or, maybe,
I could never leave.
Be that as it may,
I just want to be.
I just want to be.
I just want to be.
This is for my friend, Jack.

This wouldn’t exist without him or his recommendation of Manyfingers.

I am not alone,
though, seldom do I speak.
All realistic ties
must be severed in our sleep.
I could never follow, baby;
I could never lead.
If that's good enough for you,
well, that's good enough for me.
Be that as it may,
I just want to be.
I just want to be.
I just want to be.
