sereviva - Alone At Last Lyrics

Alone, what I always wanted
A space, a peace, my soul undaunted
In silence, I found a friend
A quiet place where noise could end
No more masks, no need to please
A solitude that brought me ease
I reveled in the empty hall
My shadow, now my only thrall
Yet, here I am, with days the same
A lonely king without acclaim
The silence once my cherished guide
Now a hollow echo, a yawning tide
I wanted time to just be me
To cast off chains and wander free
But freedom's taste, a fleeting thrill
Has left me now with time to kill
Books unread, they stack so high
Words once treasured, now pass by
Music played in endless loops
Dances solo, no troupes
I yearned for this, a quiet land
Now empty hours stretch like sand
The world outside, a vibrant hue
Feels distant, like a dream I knew
What was it that I truly sought?
A moment's peace, or battles fought?
In seeking space, I found a void
A tranquil life, yet joy destroyed
Yet, here I am, with days the same
A lonely king without acclaim
The silence once my cherished guide
Now a hollow echo, a yawning tide
Yet, here I stand, with lesson learned
A balance, perhaps, not yet earned
In solitude, a whisper calls
Embrace the world within your walls
For being alone, a double-edged sword
Can liberate or leave you bored
So now I seek, a middle ground
A place where both can coexist, profound
