lyrics

Lately, while watching bodies pass
I've started thinking, but what good comes from that?
'cause I'm believing everyone's broken here
with the illusion that people mature with years

and I find life here's just a little more alone than I expected
and I can't articulate exactly how I've been affected
by my thoughts being my only source of local dialogue
and the guitar with me and my Rosary become my simple response

so please don't blame me, because these are the chords I know
and when I play them, it makes me feel at home
while I am searching throughout these crowded halls
for a person with whom I'm comfortable

and I find life here's just a little more alone than I expected
and it's forcing me to make myself completely independent
of anyone or anything with the potential to react
but the guitar with me and my rosary are the ones who are talking back

so if the morning wakes me dreaming out the night
then let the morning warn the evening to get ready to comply
and stop the sun from flowing deeper through the night
because the lack of light brings morning to life.

and I have this question that I'm inclined to ask
of my perception of them or this or that
but it's confusing and I can't understand
if I'm the victim, the problem, or God's instrument

and I find life here's just a little more alone than i expected
and it's not untrue to say that I've been wholly misdirected
by everyone and everything who's ever made it out alive
the guitar with me and my rosary are collectively surprised

at social life's easy demise
and how I begrudgingly comply
while being respectful to the times
and allowing them to formulate my life.
