Hello again! if you're reading this, you have my deepest gratitude. 

This song originally started out as a personal piece of writing. 
Kind of like a reminder, to myself about some certain things I should remain mindful of. 

I spend a lot of my time alone, and there are both times of good and bad within that. 
I've mostly grown up by myself, in my most personal times of self discovery I was more or less on my own. If not in the physical sense, then the mental sense where I'd find myself having some sort of epiphany all to myself while surrounded by others. 
And now, here trying to do music, I've found myself yet again alone in my ambitions. 
But this time, the decision was in careful examination.. with the past, and the self. 

I have many peers, amazing ones at that here in my hometown. And there are many outlets I think i could pursue to take things to the next level. But I do not want to. 
Not in that way. As hard as this is, by myself, for whatever reason I feel as If i know with certainty, that I forge on by myself - the Results will be so much greater in the end. 

So, here I am, by my lonesome trying to carve the path I feel is true. 
And that is the message that is laced into the song - The concept of the Soul Warrior, which in some sense we all are. The Soul Warrior is the warrior who fights your battles on the inside of you, your conscious in which you debate all manner of things. And in this struggle, often you are alone.. No one to help, no one to hear what you say inside. No one to respond to those unheart words.
Only you, standing against and with yourself, alone in the darkest of nights. 
We all must fight on the inside, but what matters on the outside, is for whichside on the inside we fight. 
Do we fight because we feel strong? Or do we fight because we feel weak?

Answering this question.. will shed light on many aspects of the character you posses. 
So please look inside and examine the battles you fight. 
Cultivation on the inside, only meanings blooming from the inside- bursting to the out. 

------------------- LYRICS BELOW ----------------------

INTRO/VERSE 1 
SEE WELL'AH, 
LET ME GET UP INTO
I'M NOT TRYING TO WIN- THOUGH, I'M NOT TRYING TO LOSE,
THESE ARE ONLY TERMS USED, 
TO DESCRIBE A TRUTH - & ONE, THAT YOU MUST CHOOSE, 
TO ACCEPT, OR DISAPPROVE- 
UNTIL PAID DUES-
THE ONLY ONE WALKING IN YOUR SHOES IS YOU,
&WHAT IS SEEN IN THE VIEW, -IS NOT ALL ARE IN-TUNE
OR THINK--
THE SAME THOUGHTS THAT YOU THINK, 
OR KEEP--
THE VALUES THAT YOU KEEP, &TO EXPECT THESE THINGS,  
IS A FOOLS DEED, 
&I PERCEIVE 
ALL DETAILS THATS KEY,- TO THE INNER PEACE, PIECED BEYOND SKIN DEEP.



HOOK:
I SEEK THE STILLNESS OF THE MIND,  
CALM THE INNERFIGHT- THAT ONE FIGHTS ON THE INSIDE-FIRE BURN BRIGHT-
SOUL-WARRIOR-ALONE IN THE NIGHT.  


VERSE 2 @ 1:11
WHEN LIFE, SERVES TO CHOKE, 
OR CURVE THE THROW- I VANISH, 
IN DA SHINOBI-SMOKE- 
WITH A ROAST, OF MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS-
GROWN FROM GROUND BEAN,& GROUND UP LEAVES- 
I CLOSE MY EYES TO SEE- 
INNER EYESIGHT DEEP, THOUGHTS-STRING,&DREAMWEAVE--
&THE WAY THAT I WOULD THINK, 
IS MY SOLE GREATEST STRENGTH,  
AND YET- IT'S PRECISELY WHAT WOULD MAKE ME WEAK- 

BUT AS A SOUL WARRIOR, 
ONLY OPPONENT THAT I SEE- ISA REFLECTION OF ME.
AND THIS LESSON, 
I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO RECEIVE, &PERCEIVE, 
NOT TO CAST ASIDE, ONLY TO REMIND, 
WHEN YOU'RE LOSING THE  FIGHT, 
&THERE'S NO ONE AT YOUR SIDE. 
AT THAT TIME, WE FIND -- INSIDE, WHATS RIGHT
OUR INNER SOURCE OF LIGHT,
THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT-
TO STRIKE-THE FEAR FROM THE NIGHT SKY. 

HOOK:
I SEEK THE STILLNESS OF THE MIND, 
TO CALM THE INNERFIGHT- THAT ONE FIGHTS ON THE INSIDE-
THE FIRE BURN BRIGHT-
SOUL-WARRIOR-ALONE IN THE NIGHT.
