I followed the night whispers
Past the cities orange glow
And the windows framing people
I would never get to know
While the air hung thick with silence
Weighted by things I wouldn't say
So much I felt it in my fingers
As I push it from the way
And I fought the empty space
That walked beside me in the cold
The invisible reminder
There was nothing there to hold
Until the things I called familiar
Slowly disappeared from sight
And it felt like the whole world
Was home to just me and the night
"Don't you know you are alone?"
I shouted at its endless black
Then was taken by surprise
As a voice came flying back
But the answer was an echo
And the voice I heard my own
Ringing clearly through the silence
"You are alone, alone, alone."
