Moral Fiber

I still have that moral fiber; I guess that makes me a survivor
Funny, I still feel the same
Still feel like I’m the only one missing out on so-called fun
The lone loser of the group
Oddly enough, it doesn’t really bother me
Being substance-free, living a life of sobriety
I’d rather lead a so-called boring life
If it means my mind isn’t fried
If it means I won’t cause myself to prematurely die
Surely somebody else lives this way?
