It's just the way it is

How did I find myself to be so pitiful and vulnerable

And I lay my head upon an empty heartbeat

I'm alone and I'm miserable

It's just the way that it is and it’s hopeless now

I'll never leave the prison inside my head

No one will ever understand the way it feels

To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you

Is that your voice that I hear

Is that the touch that I had once feared

Is that the way that you look now

Is this what we are

Cynical ole me, beckoning for company

An illusion that I dream of in a nightmare

What do I care if you're here and there's nothing left

Inside of your hollow shell

I'm still alone, I'm still miserable

Is there hope somewhere in this case of flesh we call our home

I don't feel it

Mother, father please go back to sleep

I can't bare to see you barely alive

We're all alone, we're all miserable

Forget my voice

Forget my eyes

My heart is content now to betray my insides
