Enb:

I'm walking down the road,

I don't know where I'm going,

I don't really care.

Nobody wants me anymore,

Because I was never really there.

I pretended that they meant everything to me,

They tried to include me,

But it hurt more than it helped.

My thoughts were always clouded,

And the silence felt more real than my family's warm embrace.

So I got left alone.

Alone was the best for me.

So here I am,

Walking down the road.

I'll never look back,

Even if it hurts.

They won't miss me,

So I won't miss them.

They tried to get me to stay,

Where it was safe and warm.

They tried,

And failed,

Let's all go to sleep.

And dream of silence,

More comforting than a blanket,

Because the silence gets draped over me,

It's just as warm as the bed I used to own.

I walked away,
Down the road,

And I'm walking all alone.
