Blood on my hands, but I get my way
Trouble in my soul, gotta get away
Hold my own through my hands, grown through my way
Sold in my way, gold in my hands

Tried to get whole, but it’s not the same
Tried to get whole, but I get in my way
Hold my own through my hands, grown through my way
Sold in my way, gold in my hands

Trouble in mind, troubled in soul
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Fly away, fly away

It’s alright
it’s alright
it’s alright
it’s alright
it’s alright
it’s alright
it’s alright

Trouble in mind, troubled in soul
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Fly away, fly away

Is it gone too far?
has it gone too dark?
can the truth be sought
and lies be untaught?
has it grown too old
To be bought and sold?
will the days gone by
kill the urge to die?
is the pain too strong?
to keep holding on?

well it’s so sad, that you fell off by the way
and it’s so sad that you answered to the call of another name
let me hear you say
oooh
oooh
oooh

were you born to fail?
were you made to rail?
on the same cursed side

with no place hide
from the twisted voice
and confusing noise
aren’t you sick and tired
of the same old lies
can’t you even try?
why just lay there and die?

well it’s so sad, that you fell off by the way
and it’s so sad that you answered to the call of another name

well, I know it
I know it
I know it
I know

well it’s so sad, that you fell off by the way
and it’s so sad that you answered to the call of another name
Let me hear you say
oooh
oooh
oooh

when I’m in and out of phase 
and my mind is in daze
she calls out in the haze
and her voice shines through always

she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name

though I left the pain behind
still it lingers in my mind
she knows just what to say
her words come down like rain

she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name

she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name

well I’ll never let her go
but all things must pass, I know
though I know I’m not to blame
all this time I feel the shame

she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name
she knows my name

i have no where to call my home
these city streets are all i know
the weak and broken fall and die
the rest are trying to survive

all by myself
all by myself
all by myself

i’m lost to the music of my soul
there is no place i’d rather roam
i’ll live by my rules ‘til i die
my sleepless nights under the sky

all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
