Poster Child For Loneliness

(album: The Early Years: 2010-2011 Demos - 2018)

I alone am the poster child for loneliness
There's nobody left for me to love
Misery, uncertainty is blazing like the sun
I alone am the sad forsaken one

I've been waiting like a lion in your golden dying fields
And I'd hoped to find you crying neath the moonlight's silver shield
Bury me, I'm suffering, I wish your kiss was real
I've been waiting like a lion just to tell you how I feel

You who cut me like a desert diamond in the gut
You who bleed me, lead me in a rut
A memory, a misgiving, a feeling turned to dust
You alone were the one that I could trust

I've been waiting like a lion in your golden dying fields
And I'd hoped to find you crying neath the moonlight's silver shield
Bury me, I'm suffering, I wish your kiss was real
I've been waiting like a lion just to tell you how I feel

I alone am the poster child for loneliness
