I think the reason I'm blogging is that I'm trying to reflect aloud on a lonely journey. Now it isn't that I don't have friends and family -- they mean a great deal to me, and they make a difference in my life. It's more a sense of Green Day's song, Boulevard of Empty Dreams. I feel there is a profound sense in which we all walk alone, and it can't be any different. But hearing someone sing it makes a difference -- like there's a difference between walking alone and being lonely, and it actually seems to make me more lonely to believe I shouldn't feel like I walk alone -- a twisted way of saying that it seems like the more people I find who have the same sense that we all have to walk alone in some sense, the better I feel about walking alone.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines, what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs and know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone!
