Alone I stand, in self-imposed exile grand Surrendering to the ocean's understanding hand A castaway within my own self's domain Found my soul anew, in quiet refrain Lost in the echoes of my silent cry Yearning for colors in this monochrome sky Surrounded by the monochrome vastness wide Why would one choose the solitude to abide? Surrounded by the monochrome vastness wide Why would one choose the solitude to reside? In isolation, I find my silent plea Lost in the depths of my own solitary sea Seeking solace in the whispers of the night Embracing solitude, yet longing for the light Lost in the echoes of my silent cry Yearning for colors in this monochrome sky Surrounded by the monochrome vastness wide Why would one choose the solitude to abide? Surrounded by the monochrome vastness wide Why would one choose the solitude to reside?
