---

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 ’til 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 its 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

CHORUS

It’s the art of being alone
