The Rhythm

This year I'm surviving
Well at least I've been trying
Learning to be alone with myself
Alone in my head there's no hiding

I think I found what I needed
And the feeling succeeded
In coming to terms with myself
To terms with the way I was treated

And I mean it
If anything comes between us
I'm gonna leave you alone for tonight
Along with advice that
you own all your life

Following the leader doesn't always help
Taken me some time to come out of my shell
Make it work without your personnel
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
Rolling to the top while you divide yourselves
I can find the rhythm all by myself

This year the history repeated
The influences proceeded
And leave me feeling alone in my head
Alone in my heart and defeated

And In the wake of the fighting
The tension in the city is rising
I'm picking up on the pulse of a piece
Of each place in the world and I'm frightened

Did you read it?
Can you explain what proceeded
Or can we leave it alone for the night
Alone for the night
Our only night

Following the leader doesn't always help
Don't fall into the trap of repeating yourself
Intuition built into your higher shelf
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can fight the current I don't need your help
I can find the rhythm all by myself

Oh when you find
You've spent half your life
Singing other people's songs
That you didn't write
Expecting change
But never putting up a fight

Following the leader doesn't always help
Taken me some time to come out of my shell
Make it work without all of your personnel
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
I can find the rhythm all by myself
Rolling to the top while you divide yourselves
I can find the rhythm all by myself
