Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
I don't know if I could
Ashes fall from the cigarette of the man who can't forget
Who learns more from a single second of silence
Than from any word ever spoken to him
Any poem misunderstood
Of every second of his past that haunts him.
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
 I don't know
Put in front of the mirror
Why he can't recall
As he stares into the scars he cannot cover
But to all eyes laid upon him.
And all the hands that try to hold him
The pain still hides beneath the surface
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
I don't know if I could
Night passes behind him but he doesn't turn to look
The shackles and the gag will not allow it
So far am I from caring he says
Or do I care too much
For the more I give the more I must be given
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
I don't know
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
Could I be more lonely
I don't know if I could
