You're Not Alone

from You're Not Alone by Riley Skinner

/

about

A song for dark times, and overcoming them.

lyrics

I live in a sheltered place
Shimmering candlelight dances on your face and
I feel the embrace of creature comforts
Each night, I wash the day away

I'm so glad to be alive despite the existential tears I cry
For a world I fear will burn up and die

The last thing I want to know is the outcome
I keep searching for answers but find none
How can I tame my anxiety?
Everything I love is destroyed by the likes of me

This life will leave you gutted with no hope to be found
And when you hit the bottom you can still fall deeper down
But in that hole, you're not alone
Link arms and build a ladder back home

I'm gonna open up all the windows and let the air breathe into me
I'm gonna open up all the windows and see if I can't learn something
I'm gonna open up all the windows and let the air breathe into me
I'm gonna open up all the windows and see if I can't learn something
I... know
That I... owe
Everything
Everything


This life will leave you gutted with no hope to be found
And when you hit the bottom you can still fall deeper down
But in that hole, you're not alone
Link arms and build a ladder back home
