The kid is talking to themself again
And gets called a freak
But they don’t care
Because they always have someone there
“Your friends aren’t real.”
Said the child’s mother
The kid covered their ears and ran
But the friend only smiled
The laughs that cried
Out into the night
So their parents came
To shut off the bedroom light
“It’s time to grow up”
Said the father
But the true friend offered an escape
And reached out their hand
The darkness shifted
To the world of dreams
And then they ran
Hand in hand
“You child is lost in an illusion
“They need to get rid of it”
Tears in their eyes, not wanting to let go
But when they turned around, there was nothing there
So they grew up alone
A life now forgotten
There was no one to talk to
So they cried themself to sleep
“Just make some real friends”
I told them
But then I realize
You were never there all along

Its fun i guess. Took me a super song time, but im proud!
