Alone am I
Alone are we
Insomniacs, lying awake
Sitting in our beds past midnight
Staring into oblivion, into nothing
Pondering our lives, pondering
Our choices, the world, the universe
Our very existence in this reality

Alone am I
Alone are we
What if I were to disappear?
To be gone from here,
This plain, this place
What if I were to disappear?
What are we, what am I?

Alone am I
Alone are we
Staying up beyond midnight
Unable to sleep, it rejects us
You, reader, and I, writer,
Alone am I
Alone are we
