Alone - Brandon Jenner

Lights on drains fall

We hide ourselves behind these sturdy walls

Boxed in but standing tall

We never thought this house would feel so small

I’d rather be alone

I’d rather be alone

Burn down flames glow

These hopeful eyes refuse to let you go

Held back by this raging war

Try to borrow some time before dashing toward the door

I still can’t believe my feet have roots in the ground

I still torture myself in the violent sounds

We’ll never stand a chance if you don’t let it go

I still can’t believe that your bullets can shoot so low

And how you twist your weapon painfully slow

My broken hands are beating against the ground

I’d rather be alone

I’d rather be alone

My self control has lost its hold

My voice just makes you sad

The love we made is filled its shape

Now run or I’ll go mad

I’d rather be alone

I’d rather be alone

I’d rather be alone

I’d rather be alone
