Orphan

It's just the way things are, How did I find myself to be so pitiful? And vulnerable I lay my head upon an empty bed in a desolate home I’m alone (i’m alone) and miserable. It's just the way things are, and it's hopeless now I’m full of dread, fighting an unwinnable war inside my head Nobody understands the way it feels To kill the emotion that drives me back to you Are we really back here again? You worked so hard to get out of that hole, and now return to the same dead end as before. An endless cycle, running roughshod through my mind A hollow shell, filled with nothing but despair. I dream of an illusion, while I live in an endless nightmare I’m alone (I’m alone) and vulnerable Can I leave this prison in my head? Can I live just for a day?, Let me feel alive just for a night, before I wakeup…..back in the dead Is there home, somewhere in the mountain of flesh we call our own? don't feel it……mother, father, please go back to sleep And I cant bear to see you barely alive, we're all alone! and miserable! Cynical little me, begging for an ounce of your company, Tyrannical little me, forcing my way into your family Fucking everything up that comes to light, I’m alone (I’m alone) But I’ll be alright! You're now alone, and miserable!! [chorus, slow, heavy, clean vocals, gritty tone] It's just the way things were, and it was hopeless then I’m full of peace, taming the beast inside my head Nobody will understand the way it felt To kill the emotion that drove me back to you
