I'm looking in the mirror, I'm looking unfamiliar How did I get so different? The same person but a bit clearer I was bitter, was the world dark or was it me? Lost and nowhere to embark, just me out on the sea I wait in at night for Change to come, like the Grim Reaper Looking for a peacekeeper, sleeping, I was dreaming demons I had no ambition, all my life was fiction, I was writhen Prisoner of my own mind, trapped but no conviction I know where you've been cuz I've been there before You try to be a friend but can't build a rapport Wondering where to go from here, looking for a mentor You don't know what's in store, my memories are just like yours I can see the tears in your eyes, the scars on your skin But where you are now is truly where the stories begin Life is hard, I couldn't speak, I've cried but I uphold I'm scarred too, now I'm a storyteller, my glory's gold They say the city streets are paved with gold And traveled by feet of a million beautiful souls But, to me, it's so grey and cold And so I chose to walk alone I'll walk alone And so I'll walk alone I'll walk alone I wonder how long I'll walk alone? You wonder why you are like this, you are a deep questioner Why are you so disliked, why couldn't you just be regular Everyone made homes like they were walking in the park While you were on your own each time that you were in the park I was all alone, as I performed, I was disconnected Inferior, neglected, so I turned introspective Never knew what I had, never knew it had a name I hoped it was a phase, every day I brought with me the pain But it was grown all along, life was awry, I was wrong Did so well at school, the cost was becoming so withdrawn I was sad, I followed fads, I lied, I chose to be the same I could change my clothes and dry my eyes, but could not change my name Life was never normal though I lived a normal life The figure envisioned in my mind always had normal times I scripted the real me that I uncomfortably wanted to be but That real me is the person nobody ever got to see They say the city streets are paved with gold And traveled by feet of a million beautiful souls But, to me, it's so grey and cold And so I chose to walk alone I'll walk alone And so I'll walk alone I'll walk alone I wonder how long I'll walk alone? I've been authoring the story that depicted How things ought to have been, but life is wicked Didn't go how it was scripted Not meant to be autistic, the adventure it got twisted I admitted apocalyptic, and changed my distance The hardest thing for me was to accept that I was different Considering my development just left me quivering Living was rigorous, everyone talked gibberish Would have done anything to fit in, it was my preference It took a long time, there were 5 stages to grieve Mourning for the loss of the person I was supposed to be The world is cruel, love is for those who talk and those who will Introverts ignored, it hurts, cuz I own some close skills I accept myself, this song's like a celebration Proficiencies not wasted, yo this is my procession I am sufficient, this story has a happy ending It's unhappy pretending, cuz I am unrelenting They say the city streets are paved with gold And traveled by feet of a million beautiful souls But, to me, it's so grey and cold And so I chose to walk alone I'll walk alone And so I'll walk alone I'll walk alone I wonder how long I'll walk alone?
