Cornerstone - Benjamin Clementine

I’m alone in a box of stone

When all is said and done

As the wind blows to the East from the West

Unto this bed my tears have their solemn rest

I am lonely, alone in a box of stone

They claimed to love me, but they’re all lying

I’ve been lonely, alone in a box of my own

And this is the place I now belong

It’s my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home

It’s my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home

It wasn’t easy getting used to this;

I used to scream

That it’s not true, that it’s only when a door is locked

That nobody enters

Cause mine had been opened till your own demise

But none had come, well who am I?

What have I done, what have I done?

I’ve been lonely, alone in a box of my own

They claim to be near me but they’re all lying, it’s not true

I’ve been lonely, alone in a box of my own

And this is place I now belong

It’s my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home

It’s my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home

Friends I have met, lovers have slept and wept

Promises to stay had never been kept

This bare truth of which most won’t share

I hope you share

Cause I’ve been lonely, alone in a box of my own

They claimed to love me

And be near me, but they’re all lying

I’ve been lonely, alone in a box of stone

And this is the place I now belong

It’s my home, home, my home, home, home, home, home, home

It’s my home, home, home, home, home, home, home, home
