I am alone in this world
I can feel it folding on me
Traced back to the hole in my head when I was alive
Everything I dreamed of shattered on the walls
What is the point of this life
Without a meaning
Piece me back together
From the inside out
I’ve grown so close to distance
I am the motivator
I decide what’s real or not
Blankness fills the room and it’s bleeding
Into my judgment
I look for a hand to reach for
And drown myself in empty space
Searching for another one like me
Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely
Why can’t I be God?
A life to myself; a home to myself
Why can’t I be God?
A life to myself; a home to my own self
I am nothing but a man
My body becomes the room as
Reality splits my brain in two
Tell myself this is just a dream but my
Life is nothing different
I look for a hand to reach for
And drown myself in empty space
Searching for another one like me
Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely
I walk alone with no hand by my side
I need to rid this drone, calm myself and be still
This place is an empty place to be
I need a solid state, I need a remedy
He is a motive
That’s cleansing my mind; creating life in a hollow room
A motivation
For everything; Creating faith in a desperate being
He is an ocean that will return my soul to sea
Showing me more of myself than I will ever be
A motivation to live like my life’s just begun
To end this solitude and answer the question
Why can’t I be God?
And conquer everything
Why can’t I be God?
And always be alone
