Waking Up Alone (feat. Metajoker)

about

So here's a collab I've been working on for awhile with the very talented Metajoker~!

This song doesn't really capture a Christmas spirit however, as it is a lot more serious and realistic than some of my previous works. Metajoker wrote and performed the vocals for this track, so a large amount of the inspiration for this track rests squarely on his shoulders. However my vision for this track crossed paths with his, and I think it worked quite well.

Hopefully you all enjoy~

lyrics

I was only ten
I remember what you said
Underneath the slowly fading sky
You just looked away
Hid the tears that filled your face
Everyone knows fathers never cry
You told me
"Son, the world is cold
You will see when you get old
Nothing lasts forever that I've known.
You are happy now
Wait until the sun comes out
Then you'll find you're waking up alone
You're waking up alone."

Lose my reason to the wrong fear
Choose to think that I belong here
Who are we? What's going on here?
Let's go home, I wanna go home
Look at me and keep your promise
Always told me you were honest
Can't you see that I don't want this
I'm so afraid of ever being alone.

Soon we went inside
When the twilight turned to night
It's not safe to be out in the dark
Turn the kettle on
Take a seat and play a song
On the radio she used to love.
In your misery
You passed on the pain to me
Fire in your heart that slowly burned
Lies began to crack:
You gave up a while back.

Lose my reason to the wrong fear
Choose to think that I belong here
Who are we? What's going on here?
Let's go home, I wanna go home
Look at me and keep your promise
Always told me you were honest
Can't you see that I don't want this
I'm so afraid of ever being alone.
Of ever being alone.

I don't want to be alone.

Dad? It's been a while
Since you've seen your only child.
I never pick up the telephone
But I hear you now,
Still inside my heart somehow
Won't you leave so I can be alone?
