Lost Angels

Have you ever felt invisible as you walk down the street
Nothing but a reflection of everyone you meet
Becoming nothing more than a shadow of a shadow
Or even as useless as a soundless piano

I don't know what happened
I don't know where I went
I wish I could find me
I really want to vent

Abuse is the one that committed the crime
There isn't much left I'm almost out of time
Hate has just slammed it's big fist in my face
All I know for sure is that I'm losing this race

I don't know what happened
I don't know where I went
I wish I could find me
I really need to vent

All my life I walked...I walked in darkness
Never really knowing who I was meant to be
Every night I dreamed...I dreamed of madness
Never understanding why it was part of me

I don't know what happened
I don't know where I went
I'm scared someone will find me
I probably shouldn't vent
