ALONE

Alone, alone, I whisper it low,

Like a secret I don't want to show.

Alone, alone, it cuts to the bone,

If you feel this too, you're already home.

Red ring burning in a midnight sky,

I'm on the floor with a quiet mind.

Phone on the bed but it never rings,

Only my thoughts ever say a thing.

City outside like a distant roar,

I hold my breath as it shakes the door.

Everyone's talking through a glowing screen,

I'm just a shadow that they've never seen.

I keep pretending I'm okay,

But every smile just flakes away.

Alone in the dark, alone in my head,

Alone with the words that I never said.

Alone in the noise, alone in the glow,

Alone, alone, and nobody knows.

Alone when I stand, alone when I fall,

Alone with my back to a cracked white wall.

Alone in the truth I don't dare to show

Alone, alone, alone.

Alone, alone, alone

Can anybody feel this echo?

Alone, alone, alone...

Underneath the red halo.

Streetlights blur through a windowpane,

Raindrops racing like a memory train.

I laugh in a way that my chest can't feel,

Like I've been dubbed over, never real.

Friends send hearts as they tap and scroll,

But none of them look all the way in my soul.

I'm screaming silent in a crowded room,

Wearing my calm like a borrowed costume.

I turn the volume in my veins,

To drown the static of my brain.

Alone in the dark, alone in my head,

Alone with the words that I never said.

Alone in the noise, alone in the glow,

Alone, alone, and nobody knows.

Alone when I stand, alone when I fall,

Alone with my back to a cracked white wall.

Alone in the truth I don't dare to show

Alone, alone, alone.

Alone, alone, alone

If you hear this, are you also

Alone, alone, alone

Dying slowly in a shadow?
