Alone In The World

Caligula's Horse

Compositor: Sam Vallen

You’re gone
You’re lost in a world of your own design
Alone,
Humanity’s long since been left behind

And would you believe that i once felt your pain?
(although it’s far behind me now)
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And i see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
Life lays bare before
Meaning disinterred
I’m welcoming my liberation

Moral,
You call me what you will and cast me away
I know
And in the depth of my ignorance i’m not afraid

And would you believe that i once felt your pain?
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And i see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
As a new day dawns
On an empty world
I’m welcoming my liberation

I’m alone in the world
A husk fading petty and destined
And i stay my mind
From futile tries at
Reaching for exoneration

I’m lost in the stars above
Consumed in my reflection
Distracted from my condemnation
They join me in consciousness

I can’t
Remember a time when days flickered
Like their cold light
Care passed like season
And love was free of all reason.

My reason is as trivial as senses pervaded
By a final nostalgic scent
I inhale once more
Knowing the dreams i won’t live don’t matter

(leave it behind)
