lyrics

I think I’m getting better cause I like it in the shower
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
The pipes are knocking louder, but I like it in the shower
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
It really is a downer, circling the drain an hour
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
It really is a downer, circling and circling and circling…and CIRCLING

Try to keep it all together, wrap it tightly in a sweater
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
Try to keep it all together when it pricks me like a splinter
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
I pick apart the hole and feel it pulsing in the center
(when I’m alone, I feel alone sometimes)
But this is not my home, there’s nothing left without you in it
(when I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone…)
I’M ALONE
