Alone from Fog by Bedtime Khal

I am not a wise man
I left home at eighteen
I thought I knew everything
My family so proud of me

It took about six months
Before the great unraveling
My adolescent brain
So strained and constrained I knew

Spending time alone
Was the only place I felt myself
Looking back I now know
My life was turning black

Mom was callin’
Why didn’t I call her back
The cityscape erupts
With those that sleep alone

You can’t stand to see yourself alone
(I try to sleep and dream of you)
You keep wishing you’d turn to someone else
(It’s fine I’ll make angels in the snow)

You can’t stand to see yourself alone
I try to sleep and dream of you
You keep wishing you’d turn to someone else
It’s fine I’ll leave when I’m alone

You are not this body
Identification of oneself in the physical
Is the greatest ignorance

Your true nature, wishes eternal
Is beyond the body and mind
The intellect, when the body dies
The soul doesn’t die

You can’t stand to see yourself alone
(I try to sleep and dream of you)
You keep wishing you’d turn to someone else
(It’s fine I’ll make angels in the snow)

You can’t stand to see yourself alone
(I try to sleep and dream of you)
You keep wishing you’d turn to someone else
(It’s fine I’ll leave when I’m alone)
