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
