i smile and i lie to a world smiling around me
like a small child i hide from the demons that haunt and surround me
but try as i might, my eyes are a silent confession
i'm bleeding inside, desperation beneath all these questions
cause i've been looking around and i cannot figure out
why i feel so scared and alone in this crowd
i smile and i try in a world trying around me
to find rest from my mind, to find peace i can carry inside me
but try as i might, this world leaves me broken and reaching
for hands i can hold, for a light to keep my hope breathing
cause i've been looking around and i cannot figure out
why i feel so scared and alone in this crowd
and i've been looking around and it seems
the things that i found leave me cold and out on my own in this crowd
in this lonely crowd
i think you understand, i know you know
as you hung there broken, you were alone, you were alone
all alone, all alone, all alone, in the lonely, lonely, lonely crowd
