Humanity/Alone (Alive at Romaphonic Studios)

Look at all these people doing their best to feel alive

Flushing money into good times all the while they are scraping by

I don't blame them

But I'm not them

They numb the pain with excess but this cycle is relentless

The race is rigged but these people don't care

They love the nightclubs, hotel rooms and thin air

In the end, I'm not so different, we're all just dying inside

But I've already died

Some take photos, helps look like they belong

Buy a drink and strike up conversation

Dance with strangers, make new friends hope they stay

Fight existential decay

People just want bright lights

A good fuck, loud music, faded vision

Give them that, problems go away

Fucking planet's dying, might as well just enjoy today

But I loathe this game

There's too many bodies in here

And yet no one is here at all

At the heart of man is a void

If it isn't filled, life it destroys

Sociophobia takes its toll

Devastates, isolates my mind above all

Why do I look at all these people doing their best to feel alive?

Flushing money into good times all the while they are scraping by

I don't blame them, but I'm not them

I'm not like them, I am not them

Keep up the charade

Smile and laugh like I'm alive

Ask myself why I'm not at home where I might suffer alone

Why is everybody vacant?

Where is everyone's humanity?

And now I am alone

No more suffering

I exist for my own needs

And now I am alone

No more suffering

I exist for my own needs
