These words I was destined to write

Will find peace on the paper tonight

Like it makes a difference

If they live or they die


And I'll stay up till 6 A.M.

Killing words and re-writing them

Like it makes a difference

To the public's eye.


Try hard as I might

I can not write a song without a name


I am alone and that's OK


I will live life in my own way

I will eat breakfast after sunset on the fence

And I will let rebels disobey

And I will let angels sit and pray

But I will not settle for a life without suspense

And that's the difference


My feet, they are naked and cold

While the sky, like a halogen bulb

Works to make a difference

I watch the morning glisten

Now I know that the things I'm missing

Are not as bright as I thought they'd be

They're not as bright as me


And it's One Hundred And Six A.M.

But this song's still my timeless friend

Herein lies the difference

Because you know, you've got to listen

To yourself when you're reminiscing

I'll take my time writing this down

I'll be writing it down

I'll be making it up, though.


That's indifference to a story that was told to you

By a world with the point of view

of a horoscope

Their leaps of faith and misplaced hopes

Their penitence is worse than their thrones.
