Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was the child that watched the door
Counting the cracks in the hallway floor
Ghost in a house full of clattering plates
Learning the language of locked iron gates
[Verse 2]
I named every shadow that passed my bed
They told me their secrets in whispers of lead
While laughter dripped warm from the rooms down the hall
I traced my own name on the wallpaper wall
[Chorus]
Alone
I was born in a crowd
Thin little voice
Thinking too loud
World at my window
Glass like a throne
Touching the pane but the kingdom is stone
Alone
I grew sharp as a thorn
Carved from the dusk of a star that was torn
Life is a lantern I carry on loan
Burning my hands as I walk it alone
[Verse 3]
Years like a corridor narrowing thin
Every new face like a borrowed skin
I move through the revels
A revenant guest
Holding the smile like a knife to my chest
[Bridge]
[Acoustic and violin
Almost spoken]
I have loved in a language of nods and retreat
Sat at the table
An absence in a seat
Hands reaching toward me through water and glass
Each tender greeting already a past
I float above days like a ceiling stain
Hear distant applause for some borrowed name
If ever they found me
What would they see?
A hollow-eyed echo that answers as "me"
[Chorus]
Alone
I was born in a crowd
Thin little voice
Thinking too loud
World at my window
Glass like a throne
Touching the pane but the kingdom is stone
Alone
I grew sharp as a thorn
Carved from the dusk of a star that was torn
Life is a lantern I carry on loan
Burning my hands as I walk it alone
[Chorus]
Alone
Every room is a shore
Footprints that vanish
Then vanish once more
Faces like pages the wind has outgrown
Names that I mouth but I never have known
Alone
Till the rafters collapse
Till all of my ages unfasten their straps
If there is mercy in marrow and bone
Let it be this: that I mastered alone
