nighttime comes to meet me

shadows call my name

my face is lit

by streetlight glow



one world on the outside

a million worlds within

the stars stare down

like distant eyes



streets of every city

all the rivers of the night

they know me now

so alone



one more step is one less step

we walk alone

we walk alone

we walk alone

we walk alone



one heart filled with silence

one heart filled with pain

one heart filled with fire

that drowns itself in rain



one heart deep in passion

one heart in withdrawal

one heart overwhelmed

by the beauty of it all



one heart made to wait

and one heart made to crawl

one heart overloaded

by the horror of it all



eyes wide open

eyes go blind

to the ghetto on the inside

the ghetto in the mind



we walk alone

we walk alone

we walk alone

oh yeah



there is no grace to fall from

just choices that you make

there is no truth to live by

but the next breath that you take



eyes wide open

eyes so blind

to the prison on the inside

the prison in the mind



we walk alone

we walk alone

we walk alone

we walk alone

so alone
