nighttime comes to meet me 

shadows call my name 

my face is lit 

by streetlight glow 



one world on the outside 

a million worlds within 

the stars stare down 

like distant eyes 



streets of every city 

all the rivers of the night 

they know me now 

so alone 



one more step is one less step 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 



one heart filled with silence 

one heart filled with pain 

one heart filled with fire 

that drowns itself in rain 



one heart deep in passion 

one heart in withdrawal 

one heart overwhelmed 

by the beauty of it all 



one heart made to wait 

and one heart made to crawl 

one heart overloaded 

by the horror of it all 



eyes wide open 

eyes go blind 

to the ghetto on the inside 

the ghetto in the mind 



we walk alone 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 

oh yeah 



there is no grace to fall from 

just choices that you make 

there is no truth to live by 

but the next breath that you take 



eyes wide open 

eyes so blind 

to the prison on the inside 

the prison in the mind 



we walk alone 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 

we walk alone 

so alone
