In an old apartment waiting for the walls to move

Praying that someone, hoping that no one intrudes

Living like an actor, feeling like a poet bruised


But no man is an island


Lay down your robe, leper or rogue,

keep yourself open here

Don't let the cold close to your soul, lonely tonight


Passing like a shadow, never letting anyone see

Maybe I'm biased, but I don't think you know

the first thing about me


Lay down your robe, leper or rogue,

keep yourself open here

Don't let the cold close to your soul,

no one is free come light

Heavier stones think themselves,

that they're alone here

But everyone grieves and everyone feels lonely tonight


Don't tell me you know, when I know you don't
