“Loner”

I’m a roamer  
Loner  
Trying to find a place for me  
Among the vast expanse  
Finding out maybe I can’t  
Just a roamer  
A loner, covered in so many scars  
I look dirty in the mirror  
But I just want to find a place where no one minds

I used think all that matters was your duty  
Flying all day never mattered, it’d suit me  
But days end, turn to nights, you lose the light  
It funny how when you’re in the darkness that’s when you fight  
With your body and soul because all you see is your flaws  
You stop pursuing victories, start settling for draws  
I think I’ve gone too far  
So I’m coming home  
I just want to go back to the times when I was young

I’m a roamer  
Loner  
Trying to find a place for me  
Among the vast expanse  
Finding out maybe I can’t  
Just a roamer  
A loner, covered in so many scars  
I look dirty in the mirror  
But I just want to find a place where no one minds

A constant cycle of fights and mistakes  
Warping again, acceleration gate  
There used to be people next to me, but all that’s left is me  
Am I the only one that’s trying to rendezvous with destiny?  
The things I loved are ruined but I can’t stop this run  
Even though I’ve lost my interest and nothing’s still fun  
I’m trying to fly into the sun  
I’m going home  
I want to go back to how it all was before

I’m just a loner, roaming

Excellent flow balanced well with a subtle growing feeling.
