Simple Man

I'm just a simple man
Who does things his way,
You know I don't give a damn
About what anyone has to say.
After so many years
Of wanting to be inside,
I woke up and finally embraced
Living on the outside.
You may find me weird,
You may find me cool.
But you know for sure
I am nobody's fucking fool.

I do these things because
I know I fucking can,
It's life of a simple man.

I'm the real writer
Of my long winding tale,
I'm the one that blows the wind
That breezes through my sail.
I'm not wasting time
On my unrequited love,
For there's better use out there
Of my velvet glove.
Sometimes I'm wrong
Sometimes I'm right,
But I'm only the one that can
Turn on my light.

Everything is going
All according to my plan.
It's the life of a simple man.

I take my own road
To get where I want to go,
For the highways I drive
Are only for me to know.
No matter the speed
I'll be right on time,
For the paths I travel on
Are rather sublime.
You may think I'm slow.
You may think I'm fast.
But what matters to me that
I am built to last.

Been doing it my way,
Ever since I began
It's the life of a simple man.

There Was Nothing There

I know there's a boundary there, Where I'm placed, I'm exactly aware. There is to be no crossing here. The other side has made it clear. I look back when I'm walking away, Just in hope, that the line would sway. It's only become more well-defined, On this, only one thing comes to mind. So now it's time today To leave everything behind, Because that was yesterday. Memories seem to be short As time and age erode this fort. My arms could be held open wide, Yet still, I would not find my way inside. Maybe I did miss that chance, Distracted and I just didn't glance. Or maybe the simple truth is There was ultimately nothing to this So now it's time today To leave everything behind, Because that was yesterday. Strangely I just hung around, Wishing for that spark to be found. I know that I'll never be a fit, So on the outside, I will sit. There is a long way ahead, There's only one way that I can tread. It will be rather slow, But I know it's where I

Time

After much consideration And a lot of consternation, I'm now at my destination, For this very long vacation. I haven't heard the sound, To make me turn around, The bright light so profound, Shines on this fateful ground. I know why the fuck I'm here, For I realize it is very clear, I was never close, never near, This isn't anything to cheer. I'm sick of this kingdom, I'm tired of this fucking fiefdom, I'm pining for my freedom, So in my infinite wisdom... I'm here. I'm here to let it go. I'm here to let it all go. I'm here because I know It's time for me to let go Indeed it's time. I've always had this sour taste, Bitter because I let it go to waste, I've played savior out of haste As my own existence became debased. I have always gave, I have always came to save, But there this freedom I crave So I rode the wave... And now I'm here. I'm here to let it go. I'm here to let it all go. I'm here because I know, It&
