Desperate Escape

I'm scared to walk alone Down the bloody street of this warzone Everyone slumps and groans And fall into their death, all still alone I can feel their pain Suffering on their face is plain There's a risk of rain To wash away them all, and I'm still alone My lover twists beneath the paranoia All my friends cringe at the thought of annoyance It's building, soon the bombs will start their seance Til then I smile alone Corpses in red tape Victims of the desire of escape Crowds with mouths agape Stare and feel nothing, all so alone Smoke's filling the air Drugs and arson together help them bear The pain but they don't care Who all has to die, crying alone My best friend and I sit with the fan going Remembering brighter days with the wind blowing With every day, the flow of dreams keeps slowing Til we're left all alone So scared to walk alone Not afraid to die, but to be known As the voice behind the phone When I say I'm sick of being alone
