Hard To Be Alone

Born into the death of a dream
First morning
Reaching out, not being heard, but seen
Life's warning
Crying in the night
"Oh won't you hold me"
Darkness is alright
But not 'til you told me
Everything's coming up roses
But I feel crazy
The weight life imposes
Makes it all so hazy

When you burn like fire
You feel your heart cracking like a stone
And now that everything is on the wire
It's so damn hard to be alone

Living in the eye
Already captured and gone
Camera in the mirror
For the whole world to see and jeer you on
Reaching your depth
Gasping at the space
The heartbeats you've skipped
They stare you in the face
It's the fear of this you think the noise will erase
But it, it just prolongs

When you burn like fire
You feel your heart cracking like a stone
And now that everything is on the wire
It's so damn hard to be alone

Maybe we are all in cages
Of our own doing, of our own devise
For viewing all our different stages
And you can, you can try to get out of this crowded house
This glass home
But it's so damn hard
To be alone

Oh it's so damn hard
It's so, so, so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so, so hard
So hard
