There's the saddest man alive, On his lonesome, as he hums, A tune his mother tethered to his mind. Heart shattered, clothes tattered, such is his life, The last to know, always alone and left behind. Deep down inside the murky, briny depths of his heart, Stranded, abandoned, lost in the dark, Is a smiling man, screaming, "Can anyone hear me? "Is someone there listening? Please!" Anyone who's ever come close, Heard the cries but ran away, So the man is tortured by, Monochromatic grey. All this pain and strife, Hidden within the saddest man alive. He used to smile, but now he can't. His lips permanently bent. Forming a frown that seems to drop further down. Can anyone hear the cries he sent? No one shows their face, so he tries again. Deep inside the saddest man alive, Hidden within pain and lies, Is a smiling man crying out his eyes. Where's the rescue to save his life? He pleads, "Save me! Someone hear me!" He tries to resist, The corruption of his bliss. All of this rage and vice, Hidden within the saddest man alive. Is there anyone who can help, Break the saddest man out of his shell? Or is he destined to rust, All because he fears trust?

The Saddest Man Alive
There's the saddest man alive, On his lonesome, as he hums, A tune his mother tethered to his mind. Heart shattered, clothes tattered, such is his life, The last to know, always alone and left behind. Deep down inside the murky, briny depths of his heart, Stranded, abandoned, lost in the dark, Is a smiling man, screaming, "Can anyone hear me? "Is someone there listening? Please!" Anyone who's ever come close, Heard the cries but ran away, So the man is tortured by, Monochromatic grey. All this pain and strife, Hidden within the saddest man alive. He used to smile, but now he can't. His lips permanently bent. Forming a frown that seems to drop further down. Can anyone hear the cries he sent? No one shows their face, so he tries again. Deep inside the saddest man alive, Hidden within pain and lies, Is a smiling man crying out his eyes. Where's the rescue to save his life? He pleads, "Save me! Someone hear me!" He tries to resist, The corruption of his bliss. All of this rage and vice, Hidden within the saddest man alive. Is there anyone who can help, Break the saddest man out of his shell? Or is he destined to rust, All because he fears trust?
