Nocturne
I'm a shadow, the one true self.
I’m the walking body that nobody cares to look or see,
I’m the one who never buzzed with the social bees,
Then carelessly fell to my dark knees.
Nobody cares about the outcast
I might as well just wear a gas mask
I don’t want people to see me so just leave me be!
as they will see the face of a beast, oh you will see!
But what if I did show? Would anybody care?
I really don’t think so, if I did, I couldn't bear.
For I’m the one who was sent as a castaway,
I’ll just begin my painful journey of walking the highway.
I'm engraved with the burns of home
Just trying to break of of the syndrome
Everything I love has taken to the wind
My life is on the wrong bend.
I’ve never met a shadow like me
For most of which cannot even see
The scars that embedded in my heart
Waiting for my life to restart
Night has fallen and I can't sleep
For my soul has gone too deep
I look up to night sky and say my plea
“Will I ever live in jubilee?”
Can you feel my pain?
