lyrics

I live a life of principle
No compromise
My search for truth has yielded strength
And has opened my eyes
But with the gains
I face a different pain
Isolated inside my head
Where no one understands

I have studied the writings
Of thinkers long ago
In spite of all they had to give
I am alone

Quick wit with a sharp tongue
Seductive only for so long
Insecurity behind a mask
Of stoic control

Control!

Atop my ivory tower
Looking down
I am unmatched
But I am so detached
Deep thoughts and meditations
Are all I have left
For this disciplined life
Much I have sacrificed

My quest to be enlightened
Has come at a price
I have alienated myself
To fortify the mind
My choice to be a stranger
To be a fly
Ensures my fate
To be alone when I die

A balanced life is one well lived
Knowledge is more than only things we’ve read
Experience the world outside our heads
Be masters of destiny!
