Its the fear of being alone
choosing to abandon our beliefs,
sense of importance,
killing the real us,
choosing to go with the flow like dead fish.

cause its easier to not feel like a target
reciting Sam Smith's statement,
'I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE'
as your daily mantra
But truth is......You are.

If you have heard the notion
Alone in a crowded room then you know what I mean
the statement "No man is an island" is a lie
cause you are an island
take no comfort in the water that surrounds you
its the only thing most likely going to sink you.

Point is the people closest to you do more harm
Look at Jesus and Judas
what of Caesar and Brutus,
Now where is the comfort?

Trust me I  know ,
I know what its like to surround yourself with people,
Just so you wont have to face an empty room,
trying to cover up for the truth,
And the truth is you might not be alone but you are lonely.

I know what its like to choose noise over silence
Cause in silence you have to face your demons
you have to face the truth
and the truth is
No matter how many people surround you
How many can you really count on?
