Alone, Alone, Alone

Alone; Can't you feel it? You've always been alone from the start
You're just a pale blue dot on the edge of the universe spinning towards your end at its miserable heart
And at your best, what's most pervasive is death at the back of your mind
Feel it in the dark flow, heavy and distant, weighing more than all the stars, planets, galaxies, and feelings combined
And you can stand back, try to survive
It'll only be a slow, eternal, meaningless dive
You're already trapped on the inside, surely you can try 'til the day that you die
But you'll always be alone
Death row; all the atoms in the room have got their guns at the ready
And they can't hear you outside if you're already in
And all the light inside your body is just a strand of spaghetti
Well fine, it'll all be over soon it's just a matter of space time
Count all the seconds, close your eyes, hold your breath
You'll be alone, alone, alone, alone 'til your death
And you can stand back, try to survive
It'll only be a slow, eternal, meaningless dive
You're already trapped on the inside, surely you can try 'til the day that you die
But you'll always be alone
Cover your head and prepare for the worst,
We've discovered what likely are gamma ray bursts
And we've encountered a point where no light can escape
Eternally dark and endlessly grave
Finished or not, it'll all be destroyed
And all of your screams will be lost to the void
With no greater agent or force to depend
We'll be together with fate and alone in the end

Rain on a Strange Roof

I remember my first time here
I walked in and I breathed this scent
Into my lungs so deep and entirely
I didn't know at the time what it meant
And I couldn't process all that I'd seen
But it managed to change my life in a day
I was alone and in love for the first time;
I saw the world in a nervous new way
And I could feel the air grow a little bit colder
I come here and try not to feel so alone
And I tried for the last few years
Spent all of this time, but I still don't feel at home
And we all don't feel it
I just want to be part of something I'd seen
And belong somewhere
But the world doesn't owe me anything
I met some kids at the door who were friendly
I learned how to approach people there
I met most of their friends and i liked them
Even if not even one of them cared
And I like the way all the sounds come together
And I like the way all the air feels dense
I like the ways the walls sweat in the summer
This is the only place it ever made sense
And I could feel the air grow a little bit colder
I come here and try not to feel so alone
And I tried for the last few years
Spent all of this time, but I still don't feel at home
And we all don't feel it
I just want to be part of something I'd seen
And belong somewhere
But the world doesn't owe me anything
And I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so
I don't feel so

I play out scenarios of how our conversations go
And how I tell you all about cryptic symbols I'd decode
And you would try to laugh it off and claim you don't know what I mean
That you think it's all too much inside my dream within a dream
Aromas of a coffee shop inviting me to stay asleep
The day is begging of my presence, warning of my lulling sheep
And I stay up awake all night and memorize such clever lines
Of things I try to say just right but I forgot them in my sleep
Maybe I'm just too damned foolish for my own much greater good
This girl keeps glancing over at me, I wonder why she even would
And if I don't act upon these instinct, I will keep this all to me
A dense, distant, old desire, just a dream within a

Is this what it feels like here instead?
I've been thinking about you all this time but you're still stuck in my head
And it's enough to fill the room
I've been feeling something strong inside and I know you feel it, too
Half a universe apart
Half a universe apart
And it's so hard to just resist
And to think I've known for all this time that love does not exist
Half a universe apart
Half a universe apart
I'm all alone but it's okay
I can see you next to me but you feel so far away
Together inside our hearts and we act like it's a choice and you pretend like you don't feel a thing but I can hear it in your voice
And it's enough to fill the room
I've been feeling something strong inside and I know you feel it, too
And maybe we can't change and we're just stuck with how we feel
Maybe I keep trying to convince myself it doesn't hurt 'cause it's not real
And half a universe apart
Half a universe apart
Half a universe apart
Half a universe apart
