Isolation

34 5 3
                                    

Alone, alone
Sitting on the wall
Watching other friends
Feeling two inches tall

No one notices me
Nobody cares
I tell myself I'm free
I tell myself it's fair

Today I am alive
Tomorrow I'll be dead.
Will anybody miss me
When I'm not found in my bed?

Why am I alone?
Why am I defective?
Is there something wrong?
Ambiguous, out of perspective?

Today I am alive
Tomorrow I'll be dead.
Will anybody miss me
When I'm not found in my bed?

If it was only sticks and stones
Then I would be okay, I guess
All least I could tell someone
Evidence, no less

And then maybe someday I'll be
Having bruises, broken bones
They say words can't hurt you, only
Sticks and rocks and bricks and stones

Today I am alive
Tomorrow I'll be dead.
Will anybody miss me
When I'm not found in my bed?
