Fog shrouds my path
I'm off track
Hopelessly lost
Crying
Frightened
For the future
Hand outstretched
Begging for salvation
But no one reaches out
I walk alone
Others walk by
Look straight through me
Continue on their way
They don't stop
Why bother
Got their own lives
Shaking their heads
Ignoring the cries
The world is closed
I walk alone
No sunshine
Sometimes I look down
Down down
Into that eternal darkness
Wondering
Did I do the right thing
By existing
The fire pits of death
Wait for me with outstretched arms
Smiling, beckoning
Come with us
You don't need the world anymore
All the pain
You won't have that here
All those ppl don't care one way or the other
It's all about them
If you happened to disappear one day
They won't even notice the difference.
Listening and looking down there
It's not what I want but some of that
Is true
No one would ever know the difference
For I walk alone
But I don't exist for them
But for me
I will not give into the demons
I'm not ready yet
Besides I've been alone before
My mother
My strength
Will keep me free
I will continue to walk alone
Because alone is better than being dead
I hope to find salvation with her
With me, since no one else will reach out
I walk alone
Through the fog
Hoping for just a little bit of sunshine
