Cover art for We Feel Alone lyrics by William Fitzsimmons

(Track 3 from the album The Sparrow and the Crow)

From the perspective of one of two siblings, this song reflects on the loss of innocents and naivety a child experiences when their world shatters with their death of their parents’ relationship, then looking for “safe ground” each child retreats to his or her emotionally safe place. The unfortunate consequence of this action is that the sibling relationship is ever-altered and awkward despite the noble intentions to remain close, as each brother and / or sister chooses personal seclusion over risking further emotional heart ache.
