Screeching Weasel Lyrics
"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
