Enclosed in the cocoon of hell
Suffocated by the web of gloom
Blinded by the perpetual darkness
Surrounded by selfish intentions
I fend them off on my own
For I can't let anyone in
I'll block them out with a wall
Separate them from this troubled mess
Protect them from this tainted soul
I'll protect them, I'll hide because I walk alone
I trust no one, I prize no one
I care for none, I love none
I'm alone, I've always been
I could just pretend not to be
But in the end, I walk alone
People can love but I’m not people
People can care but I’m not People
I've never been a person, I just pretended
I've always pretended because I’m not human
I'm alien, I’m strange
I'm monstrous, I’m evil
I'm different, I’m fake
I've never belonged
I just pretended
I always have
I always will
