I'm Hungry
A lonely son beneath the lonely sun
Knowing I’m the only one
Lone Ranger with an empty gun
Back to my cave when I am done
Fire doesn’t warm my soul
A dark abyss of gaping hole
The wind is speaking in strange tongues
And fleeing from my vapid lungs
I am Jonah in the whale
A one man crew manning the sail
By myself I hold the wheel
By myself I think and feel
Everyone and everything
And no one knows the lonely sting
And everybody is together
And I am all alone forever
I don’t have a friend in you
Don’t even have a friend in me
With everything so far apart
And past the chasm I can’t see
I’m so lonely cold inside
Even mirrors can’t confide
My reflection left me too
Who am I and who are you?
