Alone

Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Violin

Comfort. Comfort me, violin. Within, this song, this song that I sing, sing from my heart. Comfort. Comfort me, violin. On this journey, this journey we make, we begin, we begin from the heart.

Ungrateful

We are given a heart. We are given a mind. We are given only the power. To use one at a time. We are given the option. Of peace and of war. The former of which. We often ignore.

Picture Frame Of Life

Picture frame of life, Why do you let us leak. Do you not like our colours. Or see us as futile and weak. Picture frame of life, Why don't you care. Why aren't you bothered that you're leaking away.

Happiness

Happiness is that which everyone longs. but so few of us actually get. Happiness is that which rights all wrongs. and leaves us without regret. Why then does happiness torture us so.

What Is Life?

What is life without breath. Without the heart that beats in our chest, Without the blood that runs through our veins, What is life. I do exclaim. What is life if not to love.
