Only the bones of neon
sink into the wet alley
wearing the night on my back
no one turns around
My breath loosens, turning white
time finally comes to rest
after all the noise fades
real silence remains
No reason left to look strong
no meaning in hiding weak
I’m just standing right here
and that’s enough tonight
The crescent moon just watches
don’t say a word, don’t save me
beyond the lights that disappeared
still I’m standing here
Loneliness isn’t a shadow
it’s like winter air
quietly
settling on my skin
Through the gaps of shuttered doors
sounds of the past slip away
nameless feelings
turn into smoke at my feet
As the city falls asleep
my heart wakes up
outside the flashy world
a leftover warmth remains
There’s nothing I can brag about
nothing shining right now
but the ground beneath my feet
feels like an answer
The crescent moon says nothing
just stays above me
inside this freezing night
still I’m breathing here
Loneliness isn’t pain
it’s proof I’m alive
quietly
swaying in my chest
No need to become someone else
no need to shout a thing
the silence on my back
is everything I have
The crescent moon lights my shadow
no lies, no drama
more certain than distant noise
this steady heartbeat
Walking with loneliness
without pushing it away
I finally
stand a little straighter
Smoke in the cold air
heartbeat, slow and real
I don’t need the spotlight
I just need this feel
The crescent moon just watches
don’t say a word, don’t save me
beyond the lights that disappeared
still I’m standing here
Loneliness isn’t a shadow
it’s like winter air
quietly
settling on my skin
The night takes nothing
until the moon remains
I stay right here
just staying still
