Can you see me wandering through the wild? Can you hear me crying all the while? Can you see me lost and alone? Can you see me sitting on the dejected throne Oh do you know what it’s like to lose everyone you know? One by one the walls come tumbling down One by one everyone leaves you without a sound One by one all your problems come to hound But it’s okay, at least that’s what they say Oh why do you frown They’re sitting there trying to pick my brain Pretending to know my pain, though most the time they pretend i’m their bane
They’ll never know, I’ll take my secrets to the grave I need to be saved For I’m lost in a haze of my pains and my regrets Acting though I’m the best Put on a mask, that’s my task Never let them know, never let them see what’s it’s like to be me I just want to be free, free of my responsibilities Everyone is of one mind, like a hive of bees Can everything slow, can everything freeze If just for a moment, I want to know it The peaceful silence, I want peace, I want to be free
