The alone song

Can someone tell me how I lift from this low?

Happiness lies in places that I’ll never know

Living for something as an image of someone

Can you tell me why I’m turning to you?

And though I know

I’m not alone at being alone

And now I’ve figured it out

In finding you I lost myself

From selfless to helpless

Can I make the most of anything?

Bathrooms, headphones and sharp utilities

Church bells ringing on secular streets

Rushing traffic with rushing heartbeats

The altar alters all the widows and orphans

The preacher preaches for the safety of others

Right now, I stand alone

Amongst the others

But I’m not alone and being alone
