On My Own

once upon a time it thought i wouldn't

see tomorrow fist clenched eyes wide open waiting

for someone to follow alcohol and sedatives just

kept it all at bay no sex or

drugs or rock and roll could nake the

living hell that seemed unchangable just go away

no it's here to stay i didn't find

a god i'll leave that for the weak

of mind i didn't find twelve steps i'd

rather leave that all behind i watched as

calmly as i could as my life seemed

to fall apart then i sat and thanked

myself for my own sick and damaged heart

i learned it's time to start looking at

reality and what i'll always be and especially

all those things that i don't wanna see

looking at reality hate and love and rage

and pain and i do not feel ashamed

and i will fo ahead and face the

truth the reality i need to free myself

from self-preservation i will be right here i

must believe that i won't ever betray myself

i'll be right here now i can see

everything is interconnected and i will stay here

with you science and dreams mind and body

the power of love and the power of

soul yes i will stay here with you
