[Verse 1: Alex Ruffin] (whats a loner? someone who doesn't need other people around to validate their own existence...that's me) What I gotta do just so they can understand I drift from my reality just to reach another land Whats my other land? Its full of words, got adjectives, similes, and a bunch of metaphors I try to catch em and put em up in a sentence If I die you have my songs just so I can be remembered I know what its like struggling just to fit in All I had to do was be myself with no scripting I ain't acting, I ain't putting up a front I'm just running to my dreams but naa I ain't Forest Gump Told myself I wouldn't look back I'm jumping over bumps Running over everything in my path I got scuffed Ain't nobody really show this buddy love Till I klumped together words now they wanna show me love Why is that?

All this time through out school I was looking to be accepted from someone or something and I realized sometimes its better to be yourself. Abstract means apart from concrete existence and I was the loser in school. So losers get ignored. That explains my name. I guess I feel like I'm here but I'm not here if that made any sense. Thank You)
