In a sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again
Inner sense
Need never feel alone again

Today belongs to you
And only you
From the moment you awaken
To the last articulation
You’re the only news that’s breaking
That is told remotely true
And only you compose the chosen view

The one point left to prove
Undressed of all opposing view
For the answers to all burning questions on request
Are known to you
Only you can choose to smile
Refuse to if it’s not your style
Every thought compiled is yours
The only cause that’s versatile

Yours is course
Alone to walk
Through chalk outlines or sun bleached isles
Urban sprawl or country miles
Rehearsal halls while curtains fall
To verse through verbal brawls or silent smiles

It is your right
And thine alone
To memorise the dialling tone
Or let it chime and pay no mind to unrequited undertone
Today belongs to you
And only you can mastermind it
Or decide it to be hoax
Belied of hope
And undermine it
Watch it slope in gross decline
Broken open wide
Indicted of ignoble crime
Subtotalled
Then farsighted
Subtotalled
Then farsighted
Subtotalled
Then farsighted
Indicted of ignoble crime
Subtotalled
Then farsighted

The choice belongs to you
Nobody else
So think it through and do it for yourself
Form opinions of your own volition
Flat refuse to seek permission to be who you always knew you could aspire to be
Ultimately it is down to you to undeniably be you
Only you have right of privacy to finally raise toast to approbation’s noble health and bid farewells adieu

Today belongs to you
And only you
From the moment you awaken
To the last articulation
You’re the only news that’s breaking
That is told remotely true
And only you construe the chosen route

In a sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again
Inner sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again

Praise yourself for coming through the slew of blues and home brew truths
Alluding you were soon to be expelled
From any kind of destiny suggested to be less than blessed
Suppression tests to see you overwhelmed
Tune out all the static so emphatically erratic
As it rattles off the rationale for only trusting selves

To which ends pursuits extend
Depends on where you dare to venture
Sketches rendered best wardrobe
Bespoke of your own architecture
Unbeknownst of market sector
Predisposed no target vector
Only you know truths that pass
The test of steadfast lie detector
Days belong to you
And only you can prove a wise investor
At your own expense
With not a red cent owed to known events
Today belongs to you
For only you can truly know the ledge
Enter into friendships known to know no ends
Whereby both blessèd souls ascend
Withhold assent
Take bolder steps
In noble sense
Uphold the growth of golden threads
Embolden them
Embolden them
Withhold assent
Take bolder steps
In noble sense
Uphold the growth of golden threads
Embolden them
Embolden them
Embolden them

Today belongs to you
And only you
From the moment you awaken
To the last articulation
You’re the only news that’s breaking
That is told remotely true
Thus every celebration of your role is wholly due
Supposing you can dream an evergreen scene tween for strolling through
Then you can oversee an ocean blue
And either way
Today belongs to you
Either way
Today belongs to you

Disprove all the rumours just by being you and no one else
For only you will ever be yourself
You and only you have right of privacy to finally raise toast to approbation’s noble health
And remember caring whispers kiss the lips of swell to tell of tales regaled amidst the lifting mists of e’er prevailing wealth
There is one point left to prove
Unto yourself
The choice belongs to you
Nobody else
The choice belongs to you
Nobody else
The choice belongs to you
Nobody else

In a sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again
In a sense
Need never feel alone again
Inner sense
Need never feel alone again
