alone

(Album: SEPARATE - 2021)

I recall the days of youth
A solace found in every word
And with each note my pain was soothed
Embraced by sullen sounds I heard

The grief and heartache
Screaming at me
So distraught but
Somehow calming

The only thing that gave me hope
That kept me here when I wanted the rope

Tell me if you're hurting
I need to know that
All of this is worth it
The pain you're feeling now
Can I ease the sorrow that you have known?
You are never alone

Scream into the emptiness
So much to say, with no release
A place to hide without defense
A static voice that brings relief

From tension built
Inside my head,
It's somehow eased by
Dissonance and

Still, to this day, it gives me hope
It's kept me here when I wanted the rope

Tell me if you're hurting
I need to know that
All of this is worth it
The pain you're feeling now
Can I ease the sorrow that you have known?
Can I grant you repose?

Help you through the mourning
If only for a moment
Back and forth it's
The same you'd do for me
Let me be the place that you can call home
You are never alone

And if there's no escape
Let me carry all of the weight

Tell me if you're hurting
I need to know that
All of this is worth it
The pain you're feeling now
Can I ease the sorrow that you have known?
Can I grant you repose?

Help you through the mourning
If only for a moment
Back and forth it's
The same you'd do for me
Let me be the place that you can call home
You are never alone
