Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's just a loner
He never says hello
A friend to no one
He's got no place to go
[Verse 2]
He don't look happy
He looks through furtive eyes
He ain't got nothing
No one to sympathize
Alright now
[Verse 3]
He hides himself away
His secrets not revealed
As life just passes by
He keeps himself concealed
[Verse 4]
A solitary man
An enigmatic child
A riddle never solved
A prisoner exiled
Alright now
[Verse 5]
I wonder if the loner can assimilate
A life less lived alone plays devil's advocate
C'mon now
[Verse 6]
Has he ever tried to be happy?
Reached out from inside
Someone on who he can depend
It's getting too late to recover
He won't stand a chance
And into his own hell he'll descend
[Verse 7]
Don't descend
Don't descend
Don't descend
Don't descend
[Verse 8]
No understanding of things we already know
He has to live his life and just learn how to let go
Alright, yeah
[Verse 9]
Communication's an impossibility
His own best friend but he's his own worst enemy
The secrets of his past lie deep inside his head
I wonder if he will be happy when he's dead
C'mon, yeah
