On Being Alone Lyrics by Desires

The One You Feed

2016

[Verse 1]
She said she loved the sky when it looked like falling stars
It was the only light I've ever felt that was close enough to ours. And her breath held in the air, ever so thin
Her dark eyes locked into mine, to speak was a sin

[Chorus]
Behind my eyes are waves of automatic blue
The color that I turned when staring back at you
The broken bones of a spineless being, I’d lost all worth
They say time comes with healing, from death till birth

[Verse 2]
But now the speck in my iris will seem less significant
Your eyes contain such beauty
But the breath that they take will be forever lessened
The breath they take, or is it the breath that they took?
My body's worn down, my eyes are closed now
Frayed edges, torn page in a book

[Chorus]
Behind my eyes are waves of automatic blue
The color that I turned when staring back at you
The broken bones of a spineless being, I’d lost all worth
They say time comes with healing, from death till birth

[Verse 3]
I lay awake every single night
But something about the silence feels right
It gives me time to think and set my mind free
But the truth is, how alone can I be?
Cause when I see a father with his son or a man with his wife
Or two friends sitting together having the time of their life
I realize something isn't true about the words that you told me
I like being alone, I just hate feeling lonely
