Close your eyes, you're in a forest
Trees around you all you see
The night around you of the blackest
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in an ocean
Not a ripple in the sea
Flat water lacking emotion
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in a castle
Each brick there laid perfectly
So silent thinking's a hassle
Not a soul here, so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in a cornfield
Stretching out infinitely
On the lifeless soil you kneel
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in the desert
Sand burns through your unclad feet
A dead bird lies still cold and inert
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in the arctic
The cold's whipping you viciously
Every thought now melancholic
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes, you're in a theatre
Every seat grey and empty
The stage lacking a single player
Not a soul here so lonely

Close your eyes you're back at home now
But all your family's lost at sea
You didn't help although you knew how
Not a soul here so lonely

When there's nothing to be seen
Or heard or felt or even dreamed
Two blank spaces empty between
It's a living guillotine
