William Tyler Sowers - Rather Voices, Rather Rooms

Give me a bed and a light and a big book to hide
Filigree--no sight to see, call it cables and string
Unearth the heartiest beat
My enemy: no one next to me

You're not alone if your eyes are open
You're not alone if there's no one beside you
You're not alone then your eyes stay open
You're not alone then, you're not alone now

I'd rather write about something I've never seen, than look into the cold, black deep
Absent of the space between, there's no one next to me

You're not alone if your eyes are open
You're not alone if there's no one beside you
You're not alone then your eyes stay open
You're not alone then, you're not alone now

You're not alone if your eyes are open
You're not alone if there's no one beside you
You're not alone then your eyes stay open
You're not alone then, you're not alone now

I don't need nobody to tell me they're sorry
My grieving's immortalized
The shame's still a virtue when loneliness works too
I'm finally closing my eyes

But was it true? What did we lose when we learned of our abuse?
The first step is in: I search for evidence of my own independence

You're not alone if your eyes are open
You're not alone if there's no one beside you
You're not alone then your eyes stay open
You're not alone then, you're not alone now

You're not alone if your heart is breaking
You're not alone if you're overheard/over her
You're not alone then your heart stays breaking
You're not alone then--you're over her
