about

Maybe we're not better off alone?

lyrics

I have been wearing this sleeve on my heart
So no-one can see where I stop
And where the bleeding edge
Of everyone else begins at the end of me
And all this time I've been alone

Tell me when did this become
Little more than an exercise in picking sides, well
Now there's nowhere left to run;
We have only ourselves to blame, it's a senseless shame

I have been hunkered down in the warm embrace
Of increasing isolation
And I have been finding that it's not comforting me
And it's not all it's made out to be
All this time I've been alone

I know so far we've been at sea
But in all this mess there's got to be
Some better spark for empathy
A ceasefire for the enmity
And after all is done and said
Maybe the baggage could be shed
We're sometimes pressed but never bowed
Time is short but we live in hope

And I am not afraid any more

We can be bigger than the sum of you and me
Time is short but we live in hope
We can be stronger than the sum of you and me
And I am not afraid any more
