ALWAYS ALONE | Gothic Folk Noir × Dark Cinematic Rock × Lonely Detective

#lyricsmusic #gothicfolk #darkcinematic London's drowning in another storm tonight, blue lights bleeding through my bedroom blinds. I count the hours, I count the dead, I count every mistake that isn't mine. Black coffee stains the bottom of the sink, Elizabeth asleep against the door. Everybody wants a piece of me, but nobody asks what I'm fighting for. I learned young that love is just a weakness, something sharp enough to cut through discipline. So I built myself from concrete and procedure, but the cracks are letting rain get in. Don't touch me without permission. Don't tell me I'm human tonight. I've spent years turning flesh into armor, turning wrong into right. You see a detective. A woman who never falls apart. But underneath the pressed white collar there's a crime scene where they buried my heart. Another suspect swears he didn't do it, another mother cries behind a glass. Everyone is looking for redemption, I'm just trying to make the nightmares pass. There's a book hidden behind the evidence, a secret I would rather burn than show. Funny how I solve everybody else's mysteries, while mine are the only ones I never know. Sometimes I stand before the window, watch Big Ben carve midnight through the dark. The city keeps on beating like a war drum, and I don't know which side I am. Don't touch me without permission. Don't tell me I'm human tonight. I've spent years turning flesh into armor, turning wrong into right. You see a detective. A woman who never falls apart. But underneath the pressed white collar there's a crime scene where they buried my heart. And I'm angry. Angry at the men who leave blood in the river. Angry at the ghosts that never leave my room. Angry that one compliment can shake me more than staring down a loaded gun. Angry that I want things. Angry that I need things. Angry that after all this time, I'm still waiting for someone to see me... and stay. Final Chorus Go ahead. Touch me without permission. Rip every lock from every door. Maybe I'm tired of being perfect. Maybe I can't do this anymore. You see a detective. I see a woman disappearing slow. And if you ask me how I'm feeling... For once, I won't say "I don't know." London keeps raining. The sirens keep singing. Elizabeth's sleeping. The coffee's gone cold. And somewhere beneath all the order, all the silence, all the discipline... there's still a heart refusing to do what it's told.
