Perfectly Alone

(album: MONO - 2023)

I'm making friends with the silence
I want to see what the darkness knows
I'm sick of trying to fight it
And taping my eyelids closed

I still recall the sound of the screaming
I felt so at home, hyperventilating
It was my solace
Always thought that I was blind
'Til I opened my eyes

And then I was alone
Perfectly alone
And then I was alone
Perfectly
Wonderfully
Awfully
Beautifully
Alone

I used to worship the chaos
Bowed to the power of chainsaws
Didn't need nothing from no god
I always carried my own cross
Writing and breaking my own laws

Sleeping in pools
Swimming in a cold sweat
Dreaming of rooms without any exits
So claustrophobic
Didn't know it was a lie
'Til I opened my eyes

And then I was alone
Perfectly alone
And then I was alone
Perfectly
Wonderfully
Awfully
Beautifully
Alone

And then I was alone
Perfectly alone
And then I was alone
Perfectly
Wonderfully
Awfully
Finally
Alone
