about

This song is not auto-biographical. I certainly have my issues, but desperate loneliness is not currently at the top of that list. Not long ago I was having the same conversation over and over with someone very close to me and no matter what I said to lift him up I just could not get through. To shake off some of the sadness and the frustration I was feeling, I created this freaky little track. I’m not sure how much better he is doing but I believe he has left that particularly dark moment. However, working on this song has been very therapeutic for me. From the Robert Palmer “Looking for Clues” inspired backgrounds on the B-section to the Elvis-gone-amuck ending, it definitely puts a smile on my face.

lyrics

Tell me was it something I said?
Was it someone in my bed?
Is it something I can erase?
Tell me was it something I read,
Flipped the switch in my head?
Tell me before I leave this place.

Ooo, it’s over now
When a child is broken how,
Can you fix it when it's torn in pieces?
Ooo, its pointless now,
I’m past the time allowed,
Second chances don’t come easy.

Help me, I’m in way over my head.
Look alive – see I’m dead,
Masking a sullen face.
Help me, pull the needle through my thread.
Pull the plug on my dread.
Help me go without a trace.

Ooo, I’ve chosen now.
Some things I won’t allow.
Can’t keep searching when there is no meaning.
Ooo, It’s hopeless now.
Ready for my final bow.
Pull the curtain the performers leaving.


I don’t know how come (I’m so lonely)
Why even try? (I’m so lonely)
Can’t even stand it, (I’m so lonely)
Why me?
I won’t (I’m so lonely)
What’s the difference? (I’m so lonely)
Never need nobody (I’m so lonely)

Cause I’m so lonely
I’m so lonely
