Sometimes you can't start healing
When you don't feel like breathing
Stealing air from my lungs
Until my spirit is gone
Blown away in the wind
Feeling stuck inside your skin
Never felt like you belonged
Always in the wrong
Better off being alone
Even when not having a home
Feelings become stiff as stones
You've sunken when everyone's grown
Lost mind, lost direction
Where is the intersection?
There's no road, there's no hope
Hanging on a non-existent rope
Better off being alone
Better off remaining unknown
Without a face, without a place
Just a pity, a waste of space
Drowning out all the voices
That try to control all choices
Muffling all the sounds
That always forcefully surround
Crowds feel like prison cells
Where nothing can be done well
And words are like blades
In your skin they are engraved
Digging deeper into your core
Until you can't take anymore
Never safe around the dark hearts
That love tearing you apart
Broken in pieces that disappear
Somewhere into the atmosphere
Just an outcast, a freak show
No one will notice your glow
But that's okay if you're allowed
To be yourself out loud
With no one else around
It feels safe and sound
Nobody is able to contain
The thoughts in your brain
No one can pull apart
The dread you feel in your heart
They don't really understand
All of what you demand
The best option is solitude
The only thing left to do
In a cave there's no despair
No toxicity in the air
Nothing is ever fair
At least you won't be there
In that horrid place
Where you're always misplaced
And just your presence
Easily causes resentment
A shadow on the wall
Only taught to crawl
But dances in the moonlight
When alone and out of sight
Can excel without the eyes
Of the ones making you cry
Can move one without others
Guess we never needed each other
Damaged, yet still intact
Or is it just an act?
When you turn your back
Your happiness comes back
Having value within yourself
No more asking for help
All these faces are imitation
I'd rather be in isolation
