Shake This World Alone

Lyrics: Peter Lee Music: Peter Lee Arranger: Peter Lee Alone, alone I swear I’m gonna shake this world alone, alone Decapitate the sickness from the throne, the throne I couldn’t be the shield I am supposed to be for you Sorry Mama, I couldn’t take the weight off of you Sorry Mama, I couldn’t be there for you Sorry Mama, I couldn’t protect you from all this evil Sorry, I’m not enough Everything that I've built, one day will be a faded poem And when they ask who brought the storm Who split the sky, who broke the norm Just tell them it was your boy Who turned his grief into sacred rage You gave me hands to build and hold You gave me warmth against the cold Alone, alone I swear I’m gonna shake this world alone, alone Decapitate the sickness from the throne, the throne I couldn’t be the shield I am supposed to be for you Alone, alone I swear I’m gonna shake this world alone, alone Decapitate the sickness from the throne, the throne I couldn’t be the shield I am supposed to be for you Alone, alone I swear I’m gonna shake this world alone, alone Decapitate the sickness from the throne, the throne I couldn’t be the shield I am supposed to be for you Imma kill this weakness in me Imma kill this weakness in me I’ve killed it with no mercy All this faithless act upon me Embrace this emptiness Into the nothingness I’ll give it no chance to grow around me I’ll give it no breath to catch up on me I am going to take it on, counting on no one You gave me hands to build and hold You gave me warmth against the cold Alone, alone (…)Alone, alone (…)The throne, the throne (…)Supposed to be for you I’m sorry I’m so, I’m so, I’m so... I’m, I’m, I’m so lonely, so lonely Alone, alone I swear I’m gonna shake this world alone, alone Decapitate the sickness from the throne, the throne I couldn’t be the shield I am supposed to be for you
