Recluse
Everyday frozen in frames, living living out of magazines
Still I try to do my best, but leave all the rest
I'm still getting to know why I am what I see
I keep to my own affairs, lost in meaningless chores and cares
But they keep telling me why, why I shouldn't be me
Why my way to be is of no relation to theirs'
I'm doing what I do best, writing songs and lyrics, all the rest
Never even a thought to refuse what I was born to do
Just thinking 'bout words, be they solemn or jest
I keep on playing what I like, complicated music every night
Hope they don't try to make me sing a different tune, cause
I am a recluse, only playing by the rules
Always afraid to be the fool
And never around for long
I spend many tired hours, gazing up at the tranquil sky
As many worries in mind as the clouds floating by
Cause life can change you in the blink of an eye
I grew up way too fast, had my future planned; built to last
You could say that it was a mistake, and it's my life to take
I am a recluse, only playing by the rules
Always afraid to be the fool
And never around for long
I am a recluse, and I live how I choose
Do it my own way, to keep my fears at bay
I am a recluse, always on a lookout for you
Far beyond my mind, there's a peace I hope to find
All of these familiar routines clothe themselves in different shades of green
But there's no point to ignore what I'm covering for
Lack of security so very seldom seen
So I'm closing pages of my book, never seen again, no second look
Still there's a little time left to make amends, but
I am a recluse, only playing by the rules
Always afraid to be the fool
And never around for long
I am a recluse, doing it alone is how I choose
Easy come and easy go, so I won't stay here for long
Paying my debts, day after day, always letting my life get in the way
But there are still people to be spoken to, and still some time for an overview
Keeping in mind the things I do, never something that you shouldn't do
Not everyone can fit into a mold, and it hurts like hell when you have to fold
I'm a recluse, only living by the rules, I do it my way to keep it away
I'm a recluse, I'm on a lookout for you, cause beyond my mind there is hope to find
I'm a recluse, and it's how I choose, if I don't cross the line then I'll be fine
Paying my debts, day after day, always letting my life get in the way
But there are still people to be spoken to, and still some time for an overview
Keeping in mind the things I do, never something that you shouldn't do
Not everyone can fit into a mold, and it hurts like hell when you have to fold
I'm a recluse, only living by the rules, I do it my way to keep it away
I'm a recluse, I'm on a lookout for you, cause beyond my mind there is hope to find
I'm a recluse, and it's how I choose, if I don't cross the line then I'll be fine
Still I try to do my best, but leave all the rest
I'm still getting to know why I am what I see
I keep to my own affairs, lost in meaningless chores and cares
