Born Alone

(album: Morning Parade - 2012)

In my silence
I am strong
When I'm quiet
I belong
And in this solace
I am born
I built an empire
You tore down the walls

I drift slowly
Out of time
And I say some things out of line
So I say nothing, I just hide
You twisted my soul and opened my eyes

Well, time will tell you, you're just getting older
And fear will teach you to shut your eyes
Well, I've made amends with the bones in my closet
I was born alone, but I won't die alone

So can you show me true romance?
Can you teach me how to dance?
Will I find there's a better way than mine
When I'm sober again?

Well, time will tell you you're just getting older
And fear will teach you to shut your eyes
Well I've made amends with the bones in my closet
I was born alone, but I won't die alone

I lay my soul to rest
For you, for you
I lay my soul to rest
I lay my soul to rest
For you, for you
I lay my soul to rest
For you, for you

Well, time will tell you you're just getting older
And fear will teach you to shut your eyes
Well I've made amends with the bones in my closet
I was born alone, but I will not die alone
