lyrics

To sit alone
To sing songs until I no longer feel right or wrong
Until I am six feet under and my spirit has flown

To die alone
Only to be reborn more alive than before
Like a caterpillar transformed and nothing more

A star is born
Out of the dust, out of the gas, out of the debris a mass is formed
A light so bright that it can guide a sailor to a shore

To drink alone
To numb the pain, to lessen the horror that one day I will be
as I once was before
A silence so vast, a darkness as dark as the depths below

To live alone
To be nothing but the air I breathe and the words I'm about to flow
No different than the sea, the trees and the breeze that blows
No different than the birds, the bees and the flowers that grow
