lyrics

The obvious hurt is cloaked in a dull and numb grey frequency
Facial muscles learn the appropriate contortions
Fleeting eye contact, constantly disappearing
No one expects a person like this to make it this far
Blending becomes less obvious
People care less
There's no reason to believe that anything is wrong
There is some solace in end of the unintentional burden on the ones we hold dear
But every passing day becomes more lonely
Every day the facade becomes easier to wear, yet harder to swallow
Everyday the subtle cries for help go more unnoticed
Psychosocio progress is never truly a reality, merely an appearance
Like a cheap faux brick wall over a rotten shell
Should anyone actually inquire it might be obvious
But awareness is wasted on the desperate and the broken
White ravens are often neglected by their social groups because of their abnormalities
Oftentimes killed by their mothers or picked apart by their peers
Maybe if they could only cloak themselves
Maybe they would live normal lives
maybe they would still be ashamed
maybe they would still needlessly hate themselves
Maybe they would choose to be alone
Maybe they would die alone
Maybe I am alone
I know I'm alone
I'm sorry, I'm alone
Maybe there was a time where you heard me
Maybe I've always been alone
