In My Time Alone

in my time alone
i have found
that in our time alone
we become unbound
and in our time alone
we're found
to dislike the dissonant sound

but once that time
is done
once we can say
we've had our fun
we must retreat
from our retreat
and retreat into someone

if man is an island
then man is barren
and is only empty sand
if man stands alone
then man can understand
that heart is none
and man is damned

strike the dissonant chord
and note what we're for
strike the disguised word
and forgo what we've come to know
strike the match
and light up your eyes
if only it can be found in our endless night

in my time alone
i have found
that if ever we're alone
it is not as if we're bound
in our time
alone
