I look around the bedroom at what's left of my things,
Even as I touch them I see what they really mean,
Little pieces of my life they've slowly cut away from me,
Until I give up all that I have left
Like it was my destiny,
And as I gaze out the window as far as I can see,
I'm alone in the darkness,
There's only me ;
Looking through my past to all the people I have known,
Lies, smiles and promises of what I needed most,
So I listened to the lines and opened up my soul,
While I look up into the dirt
They throw upon me in this hole,
As I hide from the pain
Invisible as I can be,
I keep sinking deeper into this darkness,
There's only me ;
I should keep running from them all,
Learn to trust no one but me,
Then I find another liar to satisfy my needs,
Once again I fall into the mix
Feeling tired
Feeling low,
Watching the pieces twist and fall
From this cracked and fractured soul,
And still I wait in the shadows,
For some truth to set me free,
Trapped in this darkness,
I'm still alone,
There's only me ;
