lyrics

for one moment
in this young boy’s life
he felt like
he would be alright
just hanging with his mind
and no-one else by his side

for a fleeting second
this deceiving lie
was the truth for him
so he went along
just singing his own songs

and when it’s like that..
well, you don’t know what you lack

it’s so easy to be alone
when you only care about your own songs
and at night before you sleep
there’s nothing in your mind
you can be that way forever
you and I, we don’t know what we’ve lost
for we think about other lives
and no-ones ready for what they find

a severe concussion,
a ruthless strike
came along his life
and made him realise
that the world in his mind
has no company

and when it’s like that

it’s not so easy to be alone
when you don’t only care about your own songs
and at night before you sleep
there’s all this stuff in your mind
you can’t be that way forever
you and I, we don’t know what we’ve got inside
our deepest thoughts and desires
and no-one’s ready for what they find

there’s no darker place
devoid of light
how could have he realised

that the truth within
would be the end of him
but when he did
he refused to be
solitary
he refused his lies

cos it’s not so easy to be alone
when you don’t only care about your own songs
and at night before you sleep
there’s sterner stuff in your mind
you can’t be that way forever
you and I, we don’t know what we’ve got inside
our deepest thoughts and desires
and no-one’s ready for what they find

so we refuse to be
solitary
we refuse our lies
or at least we try
