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 till 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 it's 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

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

The art of being alone
The art of being alone
The art of being alone

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
It’s the art of being alone
