Lost in my world
I saw you there
Alone and lost
Left all by yourself
Saw the lies of light
And wandered deeper
Somehow the rock is softer
Than the harshness of life
And the darkness brighter
Than the lights of the world
Finally said enough to tote
And forgot my way again
For a life to live is none
When the world won't let go
A face never seen but known
And a lie never lies in truth
Truths always hide behind grins
The blackness shines brightly
In the darkness of my life
Shun out from the world
I forgot myself here
Everything is left behind
And I don't need you
