Just in case, I will leave my things packed So I can run away I cannot trust these voices I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release I have no fear of drowning It's the breathing that's taking all this work Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"? What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone" Empty spaces with shadows hit by streetlights Warnings signs and weight of tired conversations In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out Every word they speak, every word they speak Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"? What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone" What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone" Do you know what I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone"? What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone" What I mean when I say, "I don't want to be alone" Alone, alone, I don't want to be alone I have no fear of drowning It's the breathing that's taking all this work
