Alone

So alone
I am so alone
Turn around
Only find emptiness 
So alone

Isolation 
Staring at the pills
Why not, right
Why not
Unpaid bills
Is why

Bread on the table
Stale like your heart
Ungrateful brats 
I'll make it hurt

Lessons learned
Do not open up
Don't trust anyone
Everyone for themselves

Paranoid, maybe
It's all in my mind
No one will understand 
Hands are never kind

A price tag
Everything has a price
Humanity is disgusting 
But the silence, the violence 
All under a pretty disguise

Shhhh, just hush
It's okay, I'm here
Tell no one
No one will hear

No one will ever hear yo
Even if you screamed in their face
Question marks, awkward silence
Truth and lies, just to save face 

Nothing matters
Ignorance is bliss
A dying soul
Give me Death's kiss
