the smell of the fear of being alone



cut a hole right through this air 
watch the world 
fall apart 
for someone
find a place where we can stare
watch the world 
fall apart 
for someone
pull us up a sticky chair
watch the world 
fall apart 
for someone

take a whiff of this night, would ya, kid?
that's not the smell of alone, it's something else

the smell of 
the fear of 
being alone

the smell of 
the fear of
being here
    after everyone's gone

the smell of 
the fear of
being in love

the smell of 
the fear of
being here
    after falling in love 

the smell of 
the fear of 
the sound of
being alone

the taste of
one last beer
the smell of 
the fear of
being here
