Lie Alone

Farewell my room of lies
Have you gone at last?
I’m lost not paralysed
I may never come back
There’s no answer in the air

Why the lightning struck
You should have known
I would not care
Every diamond’s cut
From the dirt

So I lie alone
And risk each night
I long to let you in
But there’s a life I lost
Drifted out, before
You let me in

I wrote to you in red
Where the sailors dock
And from here I have not left
You’ve become my lock
Still the boatman never came

Why I cannot guess
Don’t you know it’s all the same?
Every myth cheats death
Just the same

So I lie alone
And risk each night
I long to let you in
But there’s a life I lost
Drifted out
Before
You let me in
