Lyrics

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
