The Solitary Life
In Fear and Faith Lyrics

Watch me, don’t follow me!
I'm leading a self-destructive life and don't want anyone to emulate me.

I’m failing my family,
I'm disappointing my family and not living up to their expectations.

Becoming a tragedy!
My self-destructive behavior is leading me towards a tragic end.

You cant stop this by any means!
Despite my family's concerns and efforts, I'm determined to continue on this path.

I wont give an apology!
I'm unapologetic about my actions and their consequences.

So watch me build tolerance!
I'm trying to build up my tolerance towards the harmful things I'm doing.

I don’t need any deliverance!
I don't need anyone to save me from myself.

As I recall it was unbearable ,
I remember how unbearable my life was before I started down this path of self-destruction.

It’s all in my head.
My problems are all psychological and internal.

We’ve already lost a significant amount of time,
We've wasted a lot of time already on this destructive path.

You know I couldn’t fake this if I tried.
My problems are real and can't be hidden or ignored.

I realize that the single life, is not the average alibi!
Living a solitary, self-destructive life is not a common excuse or justification for my behavior.

We’ve all been ready for the lonely life.
We've all accepted the idea of living a lonely, isolated life.

This is tearing me apart!
My actions are causing me emotional pain and distress.

Maybe it's not for me, maybe someone else should be,
I'm questioning if this lifestyle is really for me or if someone else would be better suited for it.

Tearing themselves apart!
I'm pondering if someone else would be better able to handle the self-destructive behaviors I'm doing.

Then again maybe I’m right where I’m supposed to be!
Despite my doubts, I'm convinced that this is where I'm meant to be in life.

They always say that the only way,
People often claim that the only way to live is a certain prescribed way.

Is to promise yourself to stay
The only way forward is to make a commitment to change and improvement.

(There’s so many of you that come to watch me die)
Many people are watching me destroy myself, either as a warning or out of curiosity.

They always say that we have to be,
Society often imposes certain expectations and standards on individuals.

(What they’re waiting for?)
I'm questioning what people are really waiting for or expecting from me.

But you’re letting it all go by.
Despite societal pressure, I'm choosing to ignore it and continue living my solitary life.

(Watch me, don’t follow me!)
I repeat my earlier statement, telling others not to follow me down this destructive path.

Our lives have been running out,
Time is passing by quickly and we're wasting it on our destructive lifestyle.

And we’re fine with where we’re heading now.
Despite the consequences, we're okay with the path we're on and where it's leading us.

It's running out!
Time is quickly slipping away and we need to make a change before it's too late.
