[Verse 1]
Lights paint the windows in the sky
The past is sewn
In pursuit, our spirit shown
But for now, there's no one home

Heaven works on borrowed time
(Walk alone)
Empty pages burn forever mine
(Walk alone)
Masquerade us upon high
(Walk alone)
All we are is all we've left behind
[Outro]
Alone
Alone
Alone
