 |--What It Means to Be Alone--|
|-----------------------------|
Oh,  you were born  with the sun
 And oh,  you will die  with the moon
 And everything  you thought you had you lost
 But now  you'd never lose what you don't have
 *Pre-Chorus*
Prayers  from above,  never answered quite enough
 Now the only  one you have  is you
 *Chorus*
With  this cruel  and bitter heart
 You were cold  and in love
 Left here naked  in the sun
Run  scared from this cruel  and bitter world
 This has only  begun as the bombs  are busting off
 *Verse*
Smoke  arose on azimuth  glares
Bodies  brewed and frigid  winter air
 Where families  son's are robbed beneath  their feet
 And hearts concede  "Ab  Ovo," the angel sings  "Ad astra"
 Our eyes  to the sea,  we thought  that we had
 A cause  for suffering,  and reason  not to die alone
Oh  but
 *Repeat Chorus*
With  our feet beneath us, and our  hands to the sky
 We extend  our limbs begging "why,  oh, why?"
 Don't turn away
 *Repeat Pre-Chorus*
Prayers  from above  never answered quite enough
Looking up,  never offered you  too much
 Now the only  one you have  is...
