Alone in a Crowd

Lost in a mindset of constant confinement
Dissociated from this fevered environment
Faces go by in the blink of an eye
A permanent process that I can't deny

Trying to figure out how to relate
To this feeling of somber, I can't seem to shake
So I keep my thoughts to my fucking self
Because you disappear when I ask for help

I mind my business, you put a knife to my throat
You take what's mine and you claim that it's owed
You poison my mind with threats as I choke
I pray they find you hanging from a barbed wire rope

I'm alone in a crowd, I hear a deafening sound
And it's so fucking loud
The haunting voices whispered in my ear make themselves so clear
They lead me to believe that this life's not for me
I try to find a way out
Hostility becomes reality until I'm not around

Vows of violence end in silence
Violence grows, reality unfolds
I am frantic, I suffer alone
I suffer alone
