Originally titled, “Cheese 1” because it was part of a guitar mess around session that included several dad-rock riffs that were rejected, this was one of the first songs that Adam sent Dylan. It was written 7 years ago and was sitting idle on a dying laptop. Adam resurrected the riff, adding pre-programmed drums and bass, providing the perfect canvas for Dylan to provide a vocal sample. From the first listen, Dylan knew he wanted to work with Adam. This was one of the first tracks the two worked on that would eventually become the project known as Marble Ghosts.

Lyrically, Alone represents both imagined and real fear. It was originally titled ‘No one can hear you scream’, and the idea behind it is how our own minds can create scenarios to frighten us, but our minds can also save us at a same time when real danger is present.

Lyrics

Suffocating walls
Forever concrete sprawls
Illuminated night
A heart prone to flight
Fabricated lies
Sparkling fear into my eyes
Something you can't see
But quivering inside me
Alone
Inside
Your head
Alone inside your head
Footsteps echo dread
Scurry hurry to your bed
Alone, alone, alone inside your head
Inside your head
Kindly offered hand
Sweet smile disarmed again
Never seen, never heard
Clutch upon a lonely word
Alone inside your head
Footsteps echo dread
Scurry hurry to your bed
Alone, alone, alone inside your head
Alone inside your head
Alone
Alone inside your head
Alone
Inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside your head
