Not Alone
Skirmish: How to Cope (@alyxanderjames)Liner Notes
#lyricsonly Coping by the principle of mirroring. A slow, moody song.
Lyrics
She’s away in the four corners And sometimes the wires break down While I cling to the edge of the world In the house in Downingtown
Tape on the roof and the shoes That’s what life on the edge can be What future will we make it to It’s a case of wait and see
Dragons fly away into the gloom To distant places that I’ve never known They say that it’s the same In every house under the Moon That I am not alone
All of my life I’ve been tired I evolved from poverty to crisis But I could never tell my inner child That this is all that life is
Dragons fly away into the gloom To distant places that I’ve never known They say that it’s the same In every house under the Moon That I am not alone
I can only guess at her troubles But she knows me only too well So this is all I have to go on If I make it through then she can tell
I have come to think that life is a mirror At least that’s a pretty safe guess I don’t have to look far into the future Just create any tiny success
Dragons fly away into the gloom To distant places that I’ve never known They say that it’s the same In every house under the Moon That I am not alone

This is a gorgeous set of lyrics!
But I could never tell my inner child That this is all that life is
Oof, that couplet packs a punch
I really like the metaphoric images and the wonderful development of your lyric that reminds us that we are never alone as we navigate the complexities around us.
