Whispers only empty

Echoes fade to nothing now

Fading out to silence

Shadows in the corners oh

Staring at the ceiling

Calling out 'take me home'

Fever dream thinking

Sanctioned here until the dawn

And I wait, here, alone

And I wait, here, alone

The fortress here between us

Walls exposed to the storm

Tears without a form fall

Dissipate until they’re gone

Words can be so healing

But they cut to the bone

Living here in exile

Sanctioned here until the dawn

And I wait, here, alone

And I wait, here, alone

And I stand, here, alone

And I stand, here, alone
