Alone in a crowd of strangers
Some call me friend
Yet I’m not there it seems
I hear myself speak
No one misses a beat
As they go about their conversation
As if I’m a forgotten playmate of
A grown up child
Lost to imagination
What would happen if
I up and walked away
Would anyone notice
Can’t they see my soul
Is withering into
Nothing at all
I’m screaming and
Screaming
Someone answer my calls
I’m a lost soul
Under scrutinizing eyes
Once again the walls
Come up
As do my masks disguise
Becoming once again
The person I dispised
The one for so long
I tried to hide
The true me
The one with all the
Burning rage under
The surface buried
Not so deep inside
Bubbling to the surface
These demons I can’t fight
These forgotten memories
From so long ago
Old dried up feelings
Are starting to show
And here I am with them
Yet completely alone
Like I was never here
At all
So then I ask myself
Why don’t I go
Just leave one night
Hit the open road
Would anyone notice
Would they ever think twice
But no here I stay
Trapped into submission
Until comes the day
I can finally break free
