For Once

I know you're not feeling too well
The walls of this home are an empty shell
Cause summer's over, and you're not here
I've struck the end of an awful year
And I know this feeling too well
There's no hope now outside my window
So I'll just blur my eyes
And dream of blue skies, dream of blue skies

For once in my life I will be alone
(Alone)
And I've learned I do better on my own
(My own)

I remember how the world's rarely kind
When I focus on keeping a level mind
A reminder of transparent people I knew
Is that your idea of a good view?
And the cracks in the crimson tinted walls
Provide an exit to the halls
Where I can sleep below a streetlight
Waiting for the end of a cold autumn night

And for once in my life I will be alone
(Alone)
And I've learned I do better on my own
(My own)

The linoleum floor is so cold like before
The future was written, I'm not sure anymore

For once in my life I will be alone
(Alone)
And I've learned I do better on my own
(My own)
I spent my energy climbing up the stairs
(And I'm aware)
Now I can't shake my blacklit nightmares
(But I'm not scared)
