Half the World Alone

V6

[Verse 1] The fluorescent lights hum with a relentless glare, Bleaching the aisles in a stark, clinical stare. You came for a single item—just bread on a shelf— Now you’re trapped in a maze, debating yourself. The squeak of a shopping cart echoes like lead, A heavy fog settles inside of your head. [Chorus] You’re not weak, you’re not crazy You’re not on your own You’re not weak, you’re not crazy Half the world feels alone [Verse 2] Rows upon rows of the exact same design, Forty different brands lined up in a line. The colors are screaming, the labels all blur, You forget for a moment what you came here for. Your feet drag like concrete across tile floors, While music plays softly through unseen indoor doors. [Chorus] You’re not weak, you’re not crazy You’re not on your own You’re not weak, you’re not crazy Half the world feels alone [Verse 3] A cheerful, fake melody loop on repeat, While energy slowly drains out through your feet. Who else feels this heavy, invisible strain? Who else stands in silence and shoulders this pain? That quiet collapse when a errand goes wrong, And you feel like a stranger who doesn't belong. [Chorus] You’re not weak, you’re not crazy You’re not on your own You’re not weak, you’re not crazy Half the world feels alone [Verse 4] You watch other people glide easily past, While your heart starts to beat a bit heavy and fast. Is it awkward to leave? Is it weird to turn back? When did buying a basic turn into an attack? You stand at the register, hollowed and drained, Paying for items you barely maintained. [Chorus] You’re not weak, you’re not crazy You’re not on your own You’re not weak, you’re not crazy Half the world feels alone [Verse 5] Bagging the weight that you carried inside, And walking back out to the parking lot wide. The cool air hits sharp, like a deep, sudden breath, Escaping the aisles of consumerist death. You’re not weak, you’re not crazy, you’re not on your own— Half of the world feels that heavy alone. [Chorus] You’re not weak, you’re not crazy You’re not on your own You’re not weak, you’re not crazy Half the world feels alone
