Can you see the layers of this hell?
Maybe I shouldn’t ask you
To bare witness to my dire sights
I see things people don’t even make up in their minds
As they dream themselves into a cold sweat

I speak as if I’m the only one who feels alone
When in reality I am never alone
A flash to my left leaves me with a chill up my spine
Who’s there?
I portray a little fear with my questioning
But nonetheless I am fearless

I don’t need you to believe me
No one has ever believed in me
I am overwhelmed at times by the emotion within my being
And it’s during those times that I wish so much
To just be alone

I am made a mockery by everything but solitude
And maybe I should speak in a whisper
So my thoughts aren’t mourned to wake what’s sleeping

I act sometimes as if I’m the only one on Earth
With this tyrant hurting
But I know there are many out there who feel the way I do
Yet again I am not alone
Even in my naked pain
