¶ loneliness is a place that I know well ¶ ¶ it's the distance between us and the space inside ourselves ¶ ¶ emptiness is the chattering in your head ¶ ¶ it's the call of the living and the race from life to death ¶ ¶ and I know, yeah, I know what you feel ¶ ¶ and I don't know and it's hard to find ¶ ¶ won't you give me a piece of mind ¶ ¶ something that I live with all alone ¶ ¶ days and weeks and months and years ¶ ¶ filling in the time, my dear ¶ ¶ trying to find a place where I belong ¶ ¶ sleeplessness is the darkness in your heart ¶ ¶ it's the sound of one hand clapping while it's for you ¶ ¶ and I know, yeah, I know what you feel ¶ ¶ and I don't know and it's hard to find ¶ ¶ won't you give me a piece of mind ¶ ¶ something that I live with all alone ¶ ¶ days and weeks and months and years ¶ ¶ filling in the time, my dear ¶ ¶ trying to find a place where I belong ¶ ¶ and I got a hunger that's hard to fill ¶ ¶ driving me on, overkill ¶ ¶ tell me that everything's going wrong ¶ ¶ got me a need that I can't break ¶ ¶ all that I can hardly take ¶ ¶ somehow I still keep on going strong ¶ ¶ when I call your name, I'm gonna scream out loud ¶ ¶ and say, here I am, standing in the crowd ¶ ¶ you say, come to me with your open mind ¶ ¶ you never know what you still might find ¶ ¶ but you keep me here like a castle flying ¶ ¶ an empty train running through the night ¶ ¶ an orphan child, a broken shoe ¶ ¶ and I'm still out here looking out for you ¶ ¶ while you're there for me ¶ ¶ cause I'm here for you ¶ ¶ you're there for me, I'm here for you ¶
