-This is a song for my band, hence the repeating verse.

I'm out here by myself
I don't know where I'll turn
Maybe I should yell
Or maybe I should learn
How to stay alive
I need to stay alive
I must strive and strive and strive
Others were so blind
To my lonely starlight
A genius without love
A man without reward
A heart that goes untouched
A life that is so rushed
A soul that is so far away

Memories of the sun
Are suppossed to be fun
But those times are just distant thoughts
Nothing left but daunting haunts
Friends of mine are flying away
I want them here they need to stay
But I'm so tired of trying
One day closer to dying
And I'm so sick of never crying
All I ever do is dream of lying...to everybody

I'm out here by myself
I seem to need some help
It's so hard to change
So hard to play the game
This day and age
The world today is darker
Or maybe I'm just smarter
Maybe I see through
All the universal truths
Like love always comes
And you never should run
If one day it finds you
But all I can say to that
Is I don't know

Memories of the sun
Are suppossed to be fun
But those times are just distant thoughts
Nothing left but daunting haunts
Friends of mine are flying away
I want them here they need to stay
But I'm so tired of trying
One day closer to dying
And I'm so sick of never crying
All I ever do is dream of lying...to everybody

I'm out here by myself
Though my friends are next to me
I see her and she could be
Something in my life that is extraordinary
But I'm too afraid to talk
In my life I always walked
Never needed to run
Maybe that's why there's no fun
Or maybe I'll blame the weather
Sometimes I dont know if ever
The clouds will go away
Clouds that bring a daze
But maybe I'll stay the same
It's so hard to change your ways

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
