What is this world Do I belong to it? Cheap Drinks Cheap **** Is there nothing pure Pure and meaningful Something I can hold on to Hold tight to in the darkness When the loneliness begins to bite This can't be the only way This foolish man Doesn't know right from wrong I knew I would come crashing down Down to earth Reality Bites Can't catch a breath Join the rat race A race to the top A race to the bottom Cruel paths lye ahead Spiralling through life On a pre destined **** storm to the grave I look in my soul For the strength to fight There just has to be something, somebody, somewhere who feels as I do Coke, **** **** and speed Will numb my wits At least a while Lying in bed at night Shivering till morning light That's when realities cruel cold grasp takes hold That's when you know yourself No as a character A character you're playing in life's cruel game In a vain effort to fit in You're different man You can't escape Can't fight it It's just you But what do I know I'm just a man, boy, child Naked and alone a million miles away from home No direction, bound by societies expectations What am I saying What am I thinking On this page I'm writing On this guitar I'm picking On this road I'm walking Is there an answer I've been low But never this lost Common there's someone out there Am I going crazy! Drinks flow Dance floors a ravin   The loneliest place on earth In which I don't belong Where do I look for this hope Hope that's a missin It ain't in no ***** house Or down a movie stars blouse That's a meaningless distraction From the gap that's a burin Burin away at your soul The gap that can't be filled with psychedelic pill That **** just makes your mind feel ill You look at these people and think Do I have to be like that Do I have to follow this path The path to the bitter end Where nothing but the abyss awaits me I want to be remembered for the good I've done When my ship comes in Will it be filled with joy and happiness Or hate and anger This glorious life is for livin not drownin Drownin in sorrow There's purity out there You've got to search after it Seek it out Get up wash, dress face the cruel world head on Let it know it ain't got you beat It ain't got you worn down You're a human being of this world That you're hear to rise above Above the river of meaningless **** to a meaningless bitter corrupt end But you're hear to make yourself know Making sure your time here meant something It might be to late for me but there's still hope for you........

A Sorrowful Man
