Just what the title suggests.

I am facing the Time all alone

Calling out to a house with nobody home

Taking things just the way they come

Marching to a drum with a different beat

Everyday a joyous sunrise I do greet

It wasn’t always this way

Only recently I learned the right things to say

A youthful folly followed me like a shadow

Stupidly grasping at the proverbial apple

Blissful ignorance my degredation

Another cog in the broken wheel, daily robotic machination

Swirling slowly down into the abyss of oblivion

Fighting conformity with conformity of a different kind

Angry at what?  I don’t know! I was blind

Locked up my soul and threw away the key

A sheep following the transparent reality of society

A stereotype filled my head

Puff puff pass the chain bound me

A lone wanderer cast out to sea

Fighting everything that truly made me free

Out of this swirling mist of chaos I was born

North of the arctic circle I was suckled by a pack of wolves

It was kill or be killed, eat or be eaten

No sense of community

Capitalism imprisoned me
