I see the fires
I hear the screams
Graves piling higher
Haunting my dreams
These visions are afflicting me
Prophetic and surreal
All of my prayers and warnings
Met only with deaf ears
This has to end
I won't pretend
Can't comprehend
Why you've forsaken me
Don't have a place to call my home
I've had to suffer on my own
This fight is all I've ever known
But still I hope I'm not alone
Not alone
I'm growing tired
Of hiding how I really feel
This mask I wear to please them all
Is killing me inside
Redacting writings on the wall
Before the paint has dried
What will it take
To fix these mistakes
It’s not too late
To end this misery
Don't have a place to call my home
I've had to suffer on my own
This fight is all I've ever known
But still I hope I'm not alone
Not alone
Don't have a place to call my home
I've had to suffer on my own
Disdain is all you’ve ever shown
I’m better off when I’m alone
I’m alone
