Monastery by Go It Alone
Monastery lyrics
The shadows are growing longer in this room. The door is locked, you can't come in. These nights the radio is an old friend, a comrade in this monastic life as I live like a hermit inside my own head. Darkness brings me peace. Silence comforts me. Alone in this room, I'm the only company I want to keep. The phone won't ring tonight. I'm willing to sit still, patient and mute. Silent in its cradle while these four walls cradle me in their off-white embrace. Below me cars pass slowly, white noise in the black night. Darkness brings me peace. Silence comforts me. Alone in this room, I'm the only company I want to keep. Keep your eyes to yourself. They don't look good on me.
