Lonely Soul

Are you just the same as me?
Do you hate the skin you're in?
Does your soul not belong to your mind?
Do you fear getting left behind?

Are you just the same as me?
Are you coy and are you meek?
Do you hide behind a facade
When things are really getting bad?

Close your eyes and you will see
You are just the same as me
Me and you are one of a kind
With tattered souls and tattered minds

Lonely soul, where are you from?
Who are you? Where do you belong?
Can you get through this alone?
Will you find a better home?

This has such a lonely sound to it, you seem to pull the emotion out of words and give them for all to enjoy. So nice!
