Loneliness is Infinite
The number of loneliness is one
 One is the number of lonely
 Solemnly sitting with its back turned
 Single is how it feels
 When you’re alone
 When you’re the only one
 It feels like a mountain
 Of bricks are falling down on you
 Even in a crowd
 It feels like a shroud
 Has been thrown over your head
 One is the number of lonely
 
 The number of loneliness is two
 Two is the number of lonely
 One lifetime seems to double
 The ambiguous shadow of the population
 Bifurcates itself
 It swirls around like a couple
 In a duet of mocking glory
 Blurred is your vision
 The world seems to fission
 When lonely come to pass
 Two is the number of lonely
 
 The number of loneliness is one hundred
 One hundred is the number of lonely
 This is the number of times
 In a single day
 I am reminded of my stay
 In the world of my creation
 The words of other, and the feelings I get
 Anything can make my mind
 March along a path
 That leads itself to destruction
 One hundred steps ago
 I was still too far gone
 One hundred is the number of lonely
 
 The number of loneliness is one million
 One million is the number of lonely
 These are the miles that seem to be
 Between the world and me
 The more I move
 That farther it feels
 Slippery surface of the sentient world
 I slip into the deep
 And the world starts to creep
 With ants that were the people
 Even when I try my hardest
 I cannot close the distance
 One million is the number of lonely
 
 The number of loneliness is infinite
 Infinite is the number of lonely
 The longer I stay here
 The harder it gets
 To carry my burden in this darkness
 Infinity seems to pass on by
 While I wait for someone to catch me
 The sliver of light
 Sends through my nerves
 A shiver of objection
 My time down here
 Has made me queer
 I no longer long for connection
 Infinite is the number of lonely
