lyrics

lone traveler
not one to play games
has trouble recalling names
only place where he truly belongs
is the two to five minutes that encompass his songs
that's a place where it all just falls in line
where things so distant combine to make
a sound divine
a wrinkle in time
an Orwellian illustration of a thought crime
sublime melody
letting me definitely see the light
the endless night we call our daily life
and things are getting heavy
once again, my friend, there's a dry levy
steady is the path of the righteous
life just gives us enough to ignite us to action
then we extinguish the fire
that we worked so hard for so long to acquire

so i remain a lone traveler
there's a long journey ahead
that's why i remain a lone traveler
getting ready for the journey ahead
i've become a lone traveler
there's a long journey ahead
playing the role of lone traveler
getting ready for the journey ahead

there's an entire world i've seen that's hard to understand
yet it demands our attention
and i mention it because
the world is heartless with the things that it does
i learned that blood matters
i learned that putting your heart on the line
only brings it back shattered
i learned the dream was over way back
so i walk the path of the insomniac
using my naked eye as the leader that i follow
i move right through every hollow opportunity
the ends without the means
and apparently no in-betweens
no space to fill
no place to feel like you're needed
a program in exile soon to be deleted
and running for the sake of existence
living a life spread out over a distance

so i remain a lone traveler
staying miles ahead of the game
playing the role of lone traveler
staying miles ahead of the game
i've become a lone traveler
staying miles ahead of the game
so i remain a lone traveler
staying miles ahead of the game

i see something of myself in everyone
a trait that allows me to be the very one that connects
naturally selects a position
to act as origin for these strange transmissions
way i see it, once those things have a basis
i can reside in all places
play my role as a child of the wind
so that i can maximize every moment that i spend in this madness
where my sadness is trite
and can no longer fuel all the things that i write
maybe that had been the problem all along
maybe i've been going about this all wrong
maybe words should be spoken like silence
shared like the memory of now
time will allow understanding
at the point it seems due
the true meaning of a breakthrough

so i remain a lone traveler
lost in a world of thought
so i remain a lone traveler
lost in a world of thought
so i remain a lone traveler
lost in a world of thought
playing the role of lone traveler
steady lost in a world of thought
