The poet inside wasn't given a chance
So he had to live apart
And I realize my best friend am I
And not those parasites who try to stare
Into my heart

The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies
See me rise

And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
