confinement of your aloneness

I can be alone, yeah, I can watch a sunset on my own. I can be alone, yeah, I can watch a sunset on my own. I can be alone. I can watch a sunset on my own. I can be alone, yeah, I can watch a sunset on my own. I can be alone, yeah, I can watch a sunset on my own. I can be alone. I can watch a sunset on my own.

“No good thing is easy.” They told us that,

and a nice lemon slice, wouldn’t the backyard
that you’re so sick of staring out into
look better then, the tidy yard your landlord...
