I heard this song and was moved and related somehow.
Benjamin Clementine is a phenomenal artist! Listen to his song:

LYRICS

I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done 
As the wind blows to the east from the west 
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest

I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
The claim they loved me but they all lieing 
I am lonely, alone in a box of my own 
And this is the place, I now belong 

It's my home, home, home, home home home home home x2

It wasn't easy getting used to this
I use to scream
It's not true, that its only when the door is locked
That nobody enters 
Cuz mine has been open till your demise
But none has come, well who am I, 
What have i done wrong?

I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own
They claim to be near me but they were all lieing
I've been lonely, alone in a box of my own 
This is the place I know I now belong 

It's my home, home, home, home home home home home x2

Friends, I have met
Lovers have slept and wept
Promises to stay had never kept
This bare truth of which most won't share 
I hope you share, I hope you share 

Cuz I have been lonely 
Alone in a box of stone 
They claim to love me and be near me 
But they are all lieing 
I have been lonely, alone in a box of my own 
And this is the place I now know I belong 

Its my home, home, home, home home home home home x2
