Never Alone

(Verse 1)
The room is loud, the air is thin
I’m wearing layers to hide my skin
A hundred voices, a thousand eyes
But all I hear are the sharpened lies.
They’re leaning in, they’re trading gold
But every story is cold, so cold.

(Chorus)
I’m drowning in a crowded room
Searching for light in a sea of gloom
How can a thousand faces feel like none?
I’m standing still while they’re on the run.
Surrounded by wolves, but I’m on my own
The worst kind of lonely is never alone.

(Verse 2)
A forced smile here, a hollow laugh
They’re cutting my spirit right in half
They talk in circles, they play the part
With ice in their veins and stone for a heart.
All their words are raining out like screams
I’m The only one feeling what’s in between.

(Breakdown)
I’m never alone but I always see
You’re just empty and filled with mean
Ohhh you’re just filled with mean
I’m The only one feeling what’s in between.

(Verse 3)
I’m a target for the words they throw
A silent punch that doesn’t show 
They bond through whispers and bitter stings
Pulling on each other’s puppet strings
The more they talk, the less they say
I’m a million miles and a world away.

(Bridge)
They don't see the shadow, they don't see the break
They only see what they want to take.
I’d rather be miles from the nearest soul
Than losing myself in this empty hole.

(Chorus)
I’m drowning in a crowded room
Searching for light in a sea of gloom
How can a thousand faces feel like none?
I’m standing still while they’re on the run.
Surrounded by wolves, but I’m on my own
The worst kind of lonely is never alone.

(Outro)
Never alone, but always apart
A heavy head and a hollow heart.
Just waiting for the door, waiting for the night
To find a silence that feels alright.
Yeah, it feels alright
