Wire-Tight Loneliness

Cold, cold sheets Not a stretch of lawn No place to hide Woke up reaching for a hand that's gone Dawn breaks slow, but the ache hangs on Shadows play tricks in the dim gray light Talk to the walls, they don't treat me right Every step down, empty halls Memories linger like fading calls Loneliness, you pull me under deep Steal my breath while the world just sleeps But I rise up slow with a stubborn fire Sing my truth through the wild tide wire Oh loneliness you won't break me down I'll wear this crown Rain taps the window like forgotten friends Chasing dreams that never really Bottle of sorrow, I drink it slow Heart's a wanderer with nowhere to go Faces in crowds, but they turn away Lost in the silence of another day Loneliness, you pull me under deep Steal my breath while the world just sleeps But I rise up slow with a stubborn fire Sing my truth through the wild tide wire Oh loneliness you won't break me down I'll wear this crown till the hurt turns round Yeah, till the hurt turns round Loneliness fades, I'm still around
