Alone in the Breeze

Somewhere they're raising a glass
In your name for the deeds that you've done
How does it feel to be praised
At your beautiful party of one?
Clever was you all disguised
As someone you could never become
Tucked in the folds of deceit
Your own twisted distortion of love

Some day you may hear alarms
And then realize you woke up to nothing
You lost on the way
The one piece that you thought was yourself
You were so sure in the math
That three minus two adds to something
Only you in the breeze, and nobody else

The grandfather clock in the hallway
Announces another hour lost
The pendulum swings like your heart
Suspended in concrete and dust
No doubt it is cruel and convenient
To blame it on fire and lust
You're as cold as the ghost
Who still haunts you for promises crushed

The ink barely dried on the paper
Won't bury the truth that was said
Maybe the passage of time
Will silence the pulse?
You do your best to forget
But the words still escaped from your head
You're alone in the breeze with nobody else
All alone in the breeze ... nobody else
All alone in the breeze ...

Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children have gone
All except one
