When I'm Alone

(album: XXI Century Blood - 2017)

Full of color on the outside
But I only see in black and white
I'm desperate for some light
In the corners of my mind
Having hope, but not enough
Reaching out to find no one
Am I the only soul
To have lost all control?

It gets hard to breathe
Stuck in between on what
Has become my fake reality
And there's no escape
From the voice in my head
It's driving me crazy

Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone
When I'm alone

I'm about to tear off this page
But it's something I can't erase
I wish I could rewrite
The story of my life
What I hide every day
Behind the mask, there's pain
They say I'm not alone
But do they even know?

It gets hard to breathe
Stuck in between on what
Has become my fake reality
And there's no escape
From the voice in my head
It's driving me crazy

Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone

Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone
And every day, I'll try
To keep my feelings hidden inside
But nobody knows 'bout the hole in my soul
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
