Alone

(album: Priory - 2011)

Don't look at my face, said the girl with the scar.
Daddy took off when times got hard.
And mother bed down with many a man.
At night the girl prays that they won't touch her again.
Alone.
And he sits by himself at the back of the class.
And his little hands shake when the teacher's questions are asked.
He lives at the home.
All the older boys harass.
And he thinks to himself, how long can this last?
Alone, Alone, Alone, you're not alone.
Alone, Alone, Alone, you're not alone.
Hey Hey.
Hey Hey.
Don't hide your face.
You're not the sum, the sum of their mistakes.
Don't hide your face.
You're not the sum, the sum of their mistakes.
Alone, Alone, Alone, You're not alone.
Alone, Alone, Alone, You're not alone.
Children are strong.
They will heal their broken bones.
Children are strong.
We can fix our broken homes.
Hey hey.
Hey hey.
Don't hide your face.
You're not the sum, the sum of their mistakes.
Don't hide your face.
You're not the sum, the sum of their mistakes.
Alone, Alone, Alone, you're not alone.
Alone, Alone, Alone, you're not alone.
