One by One

One by one Everyone leaves They see who I am And they lose belief My world crashes down And I can’t stay alive But I have to because I need them to survive I’m the one hurting I’m the one lost You see the outside I see the frost It slowly takes over Inside of my head Fogging my mind to Forget what’s been said I’m only a person I can’t do it all Why does it feel Like I’m hitting a wall I am boxed in And there is no way out Can’t make a noise And I can’t even shout Even if I could What would it be about? How much I hurt? No, I can’t let that out Hiding inside From the pain and the hurt Wishing for flowers But there is just dirt Nothing comes out of me Nothing at all Hate and anxiety Curled in a ball Why am I like this And why can’t I stop? Everyone’s waiting For this ball to drop I’ll just explode And there won’t be no pain I’ll just stop existing There won’t be no rain No one will miss me No one will care Where I once was There will just be air Finally they’re rid of me Nothing to fear No one to hurt them Or those they hold dear No more pain coming From inside or out No more to worry And no more to doubt I will be gone No more reason to moan No more of anything No more place to call home All of its over You’re finally free Of the despicable person They used to call me
