-Passing-
Millions of houses along the street
Families get together ready to eat
Walking by and I see the lights on
As I walk alone during the night time
Get back to my place but I feel so alone
The lights are on but no one’s home
Turn them off and go to bed
Where I don’t sleep because of my fucked up head
But when I pass out from sheer exhaustion
Continuing to live is starting to cost me
I look around to see if anyone is there
Surprise, surprise there’s no one anywhere
Day time breaks and the heat is pounding
I don’t even feel it even though it surrounds me
Walking around just on my own
Trying to ignore the couples arm in arm
They look really happy, nothing else could please
And all I’m left with is my hair in the breeze
My scars, my wounds, my territory
Gently remind me of my broken story
Breaking me down a little each day
No matter which way I look they’re here to stay
No matter what I think you’re in my way
Get away from me
Another day passes, another night consumes
Another night I spend alone in my room
Another hour passes by and no one’s at my side
Another second ticks down, one second closer ‘till I die
Another minute my heart beats
Another week goes by and I’m still a wreck
Another month passes, another forgotten anniversary down
Another year will pass and you still won’t be around.
I smile and laugh everyday
But does that mean that I am actually okay?
