Solitary

I drive alone with my mind

fighting thoughts of this kind

In the darkness of these naked, empty streets

I'm free to just breathe

He said I'm the queen of random phone calls

I explained it's just this time of year

These awkward conversations, these constant isolations

And this town is bringing me down

So bogged down with this, this flesh and bone

I'm not supposed to feel quite this alone

Amidst this clutter, watch me stumble, step and fall

I haven't the strength to get back up

'Cause I am empty, floating loveless

Cut me and I bleed only dust
