Alexander All Alone - Andy Shauf

Alexander all alone

Smoking a cigarette

The last pack he’d ever buy

At least that’s what he said

He stood up to stretch his back

And fell down to the ground

Alexander all alone

'Till the neighbour caught a glimpse

Cried out for his wife

To call the ambulance

Alexander all alone

Felt them check his pulse

He heard them pronounce him dead

Hell is found inside of me

And nothing else will set me free

If hell is found inside of me

Then open me up and spill me out

Alexander wondered why

No life flashed before his eyes

Why his soul did not depart

Why he found no peace of mind

Would it take a little while?

Was it the same for everyone?

Alexander realized

That hell is found inside of me

And nothing else will set me free

If hell is found inside of me

Then open me up and spill me out
