ALONE

c.a.b. 2012

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

Sitting alone

All alone in the night

The sound of my breathing

Is my ears only sight

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

Thinking becomes longing

As the hours slip by

Remembering my failures

And the tears that you cried

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

Emptiness and despair

Now sit on the throne

Where arrogance and pride

Used to make it their own

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

No rest in my mind

No place I can hide

From courtship of pain

The embracing of night

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

Where once stood a man

Now there's only a shell

Distant memory of Heaven

And reality of Hell

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger

I've chosen this path

No one else is to blame

Now I stand where it led 

At the door of my shame

One single hair

Held by broken fingers

One thin strand 

Binding memories that linger
