Alone

Every night, a sleepless night 

Every day is lies with smiles 

The sunny mask is constantly worn  

No one sees what lies beneath 

(No one ever seems to care) 

I have a scarlet bottle of anger and fear 

When will it be when that bottle breaks? 

 

Every night a dreadful night 

Every day a dreadful day 

Never knew what alone felt like 

Until alone was all I felt 

Never knew what love felt like 

Until hate was all I felt  

So many people swarm around me 

A cold sea of faces wash over me 

Those faces never made me feel less alone 

Every night I just wait for the sun to rise 

I wait for another uneventful day 

All I hear is the ticking of the life clock  

In the dead silence of my head
