The door is shut, the room is quiet One candle burns and shadows come alive A single voice the echoes rise Words from my lips a whisper cuts the night I write a poem on every wall I spin around in circles till I fall I made these stones, my second skin I build them high as I am locked within I'm locked within I'm locked within Hello solitude, I'm back again To make loneliness my home Where reflection is my closest friend It’s the art of being alone In the shadowed corners of my heart There’s a world I call my own When the silence takes my soul apart It’s the art of being alone No outside world No night or day No-one intrudes my secret hideaway Here I can find my inner peace In endless sleep my dreams will be released I will unfold A stronger me From it's cocoon the butterfly breaks free The walls have ears They hear my plea The stones reflect a truth just meant for me Just meant for me Just meant for me Hello solitude, I'm back again To make loneliness my home Where reflection is my closest friend It’s the art of being alone In the shadowed corners of my heart There’s a world I call my own When the silence takes my soul apart It’s the art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone Hello solitude, I'm back again To make loneliness my home Where reflection is my closest friend It’s the art of being alone In the shadowed corners of my heart There’s a world I call my own When the silence takes my soul apart It’s the art of being alone It’s the art of being alone
