Libertine

(album: Symptoms Of A Leveling Spirit - 2001)

I've been put down been pushed around
But they won't break me, I still believe
Been cast aside, stood up for ridicule
But I'm still here, I feel the same

This one's for those who'll never understand
It's not a blueprint or a master plan
All I know is nothing that I've done before held me so strong...

Never steered me wrong
And with every passing day
Distills my dedication

In a clouded world you kept me clear
And there's a part of you in all I've done
Been second guessed, thought immature
But for what it's worth, know that I'm still here

I wonder what I could have done instead
To quell the anger boiling in my head
Unlike so many things you've never let me down...

Never steered me wrong
And with every passing day
Distill my dedication

With you I've never felt alone

And as I stumble through these days
I hope you'll understand
It's so much more than a phase
It's everything I am

When I'm straying in darker times
When I'm feeling left behind, you're always there
The music somehow seems to get me by
