Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east, from the west
Onto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest
[Verse 2]
I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
They claim to love me, but they're all lying
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
And this is the place I now belong
[Verse 3]
It's my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
It's my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
[Verse 4]
It wasn't easy gettin' used to this
I used to scream
But it's not true, that it's only when the door is locked
That nobody enters
'Cause mine had been open till your demise
But none had come, well, who am I?
What have I done?
What have I done?
[Verse 5]
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
They claim to be near me, but they're all lying, it's not true
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
This is the place I now belong
[Verse 6]
It's my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
It's my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
[Verse 7]
Friends, I have met
Lovers have slept and wept
Promises to stay had never been kept
This bare truth, of which most won't share
I hope you share
[Verse 8]
'Cause I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
They claim to love me and be near me, but they're all lying
I've been lonely, alone in a box of stone
And this is the place I now belong
[Verse 9]
It's my home, home, my home, home, home, home, home, home
It's my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
