The Burden of Time // Track 7
Walk Alone
Lyrics
Streetlights bleed on the wet asphalt floor,
Another night I’m walking through my own front door.
This hollow space, a ghost I know so well,
A quiet prison built around a silent hell.
I want the warmth, I want to not be alone,
But this need feels like a weight, a heavy stone.
So I walk this path, a shadow on the wall,
Not by my choice, but terrified to fall.
I see them laugh, a universe away,
Their easy touch at the closing of the day.
I practice smiles in the reflection of a screen,
Just playing a part in a forgotten scene.
I want the warmth, I want to not be alone,
But this need feels like a weight, a heavy stone.
So I walk this path, a shadow on the wall,
Not by my choice, but terrified to fall.
Is it strength to stand when you can’t feel your feet?
To force a pulse in time with this lonely beat?
I feel I must… but I don’t know why anymore.
Just know I can’t stay kneeling on this floor.
I must walk alone…
I must walk alone…
Not because I want to.
Not because I want to…
(ahhhh)
