The Lonely from The Lonely by Domini Forster

I get home
And somebody’s left the light on
So I don’t know ’til I notice the silence
I’m here on my own

On the bus today
We all kept our heads down
While a man with no shoes on
Shouted his stories to no one

Well they say it takes a village to hold us
But in this crowd we’re all starving for touch
If you’re swallowed by the lonely
What do you do then

You and your love
Play for the camera
My curated view through your window
Looms like a sliding doors future

Well they say it takes a village to hold us
But in this crowd we’re all starving for touch
If you’re swallowed by the lonely
What do you do then
On our phones making constellations
Scattered city of friends
But we’re followed by the lonely
Hard as we pretend

Hanging your coat at the end of the day, are you home
Turn the light on, dinner for one, are you home
When you’re alone are you lonely like I am
When you’re alone are you lonely
