Everywhere I Look, Everything Seems So Alive

My blood sinks in temperature, my body's stiffening
Every other human beings eyes, so bright and glistening
I feel so alone, why is no one listening?
Why do all my screams and cries for help feel like I'm whispering?

Why are my lips purple, while yours are red and smiling?
Why is the silver in my hand so dull and never shining?
As I breathe unwillingly and life is getting tiring
I put my hands upon my face and quietly start crying
