Lonely Lyrics

[Verse 1: Elusive]
All my life, I have dreamt of flying
Made myself a bed, that I couldn't lie in
And now I'm glad that the world hasn't ended yet
Cause I'm taking back, what is Mayan
Until it's all in alignment
But you don't know what you mean to me, or even what that line meant
As I reinvent, myself, yeah, I'll pay the cost
Cause I'm just grateful for all the time spent
Like happiness is all that we require
But if telling you the truth, makes me a liar
I don't know why I'd even bother, anymore
Though I can feel the heat, I can't see the fire
Cause it's a different kind of metaphor
Like a change in the tides, that I just never saw
But I know now I'm better off
Tryna find somebody who I am better for
So it's time I start moving on
I was still standing here, while you were gone
And now I have to set my own pace
And let the pieces fall into place - cause as of now, I don't need anyone..

[Hook: DMB]
Don't be..
So distant when you hold me..
If you're my one and only..
Why do I feel so lonely.. (Lonely..)
Don't be..
So distant when you hold me..
If you're my one and only..
Why do I feel so lonely.. (Lonely..)
[Verse 2: DMB]
I've searched everywhere and turned every stone
But I still return alone into an empty throne
Forced to give back everything I've ever owned
Now a full house has turned into an empty home
Please send me home, cause I walk in darkness
I'm just a lonely soul, dwelling in this carcass
I've lost my love and now I fear that I am heartless
I travel down this road to try and find out where my heart is
But I'm an artist, and this is my release
You always wanted space, so now I'm finding peace
On my own, I couldn't iron out your flaws
And the irony is you just tried to keep me on an iron leash
But it's my dying wish, for this to all be over
It's why I'm sitting here, praying for a supernova
But it's my life and I will make it through
Cause solitude ain't as lonely when you're in a coma..

[Hook]

[Verse 3: DMB]
Everyday, I can still remember
Both of us united - a single member
I see the light down the bend, if this might be the end
We all died back in December
So are we all just stuck in limbo
In the same place as the rapists and the sinful
That's why I'm talking to myself, cause there is nobody else
Take a selfie, smoking indo
I watch the wind blow, and think of freedom
Forever flowing, and never knowing the season
I put my ear to the earth, hear it breathing
You might be leaving but I've got reason to believe in
Achieving, your own life expectancy
The opposite of whatever you may expect of me
Was looking forward to eternity of ecstasy
But since I have lost you, I feel like I was left with less of me..
[Hook x 2]
