Lyrics Bitter and Alone - Alex Edwards

one more broken son
crowds the pile out the back
the rivers carry our bodies
to the heart of the city
but I don't buy into the dream
our values are top down
it's so easy to see
in fact I'd prefer to be at home
I'm just bitter and alone
made a pact with the sky
who said it'd quit smokin' if I tried something new tonight
but the shinin' light above
burnt some memories into me
and I decided to leave, the clouds where they wanted to be
but I'm not, an expert on things
nor in touch with my feelings
in fact I'd prefer to be at home
yeah I'm just bitter and alone, I'm bitter and alone
but maybe the world is right, and I'm wrong
I must keep my mind open
cos there's a reason for everything
and there is some good
you just have to see it
and is it my ego
or something much more pure
that makes me want to change the world into how I've seen
when so many who have come before with their grand vision
and fucked up it for everyone
so I'll just keep on singing
but only to myself, oh
and it's all only my fears
and it's all only my fears
I'm just bitter and alone
I'm trying to find a way home to love
