Lyrics
I'm a solitary man
I've given up the fight to do what I can
I'm a solitary soul
I'm spending my useless time fixing a hole
Tomorrow seems like today
confined to my four walls
Solitary Man
The city goes to sleep
But I lie awake and my thoughts run deep
The night is like the sea
where dream follows nightmare, endlessly
Tomorrow seems like today
confined to my four walls
Solitary Man
Every day I rise at dawn
doubting point and purpose (why) I was born
I'm just in for daily grind
any joy in life is so hard to find
