Being alone is better when I'm truly alone
When the house is empty and the streets are silent
but it's the emptiness that overwhelms me
when I'm sitting in a room full of people
and I'm watching them through a camera
enjoying life without me
as i sit next to them
so when I say i prefer to be alone
It's not because I'm lonely
But because an empty room stays still in time with me
